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","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53672104198417,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780060090579.jpg?v=1781518405","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-savage-kingdom-by-benjamin-woolley","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
