Despite their shortcomings, and against the odds, they built Jamestown, a ramshackle outpost that laid the foundations of the British Empire and the United States of America.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on new discoveries, neglected sources, and manuscript collections scattered across the world, Savage Kingdom challenges the textbook image of Jamestown as a mere money-making venture. It reveals a reckless, daring enterprise led by outcasts of the Old World who found themselves interlopers in a new one. An intimate story in an epic setting, it shows how the land of Pocahontas came to be drawn into a new global order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harper Perennial\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/08\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780060090579\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 512\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.02h x 5.36w x 0.94d","brand":"Benjamin Woolley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42916703404213,"sku":"9780060090579","price":16.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_4835fafe-1bd1-4c5f-8408-60c468fbbcc8.jpg?v=1687269028","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/savage-kingdom-the-true-story-of-jamestown-1607-and-the-settlement-of-america-9780060090579","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
