The plantation at Jamestown, Virginia, founded on May 14, 1607, was almost completely decimated by starvation and disease by the end of the first year, while its sister settlement to the north, Popham Colony at Fort Saint George on the mouth of the Kennebec River in Maine, established on August 19, 1607, did not survive beyond the fall of 1608. Jeffrey Brain headed a team conducting the archaeological excavation of Popham Colony (Sagadahoc). He describes the expedition to America, the buildings and living conditions at the colony and presents a wonderful reproduction of a contemporary map of the colony. This is an essential work for anyone interested in the early English colonization of America.In very good condition, 220 pages
