Jamestown, the Buried Truth by William M Kelso
What was life really like for the band of adventurers who first set foot on the banks of the James River in 1607? Offering a picture of the soil where the Jamestown colony began, this title looks at the James Fort and its contents to reveal evidence of the lives and deaths of the first settlers and of their relationships with the Virginia Indians.
The unearthing of Jamestown is truly the autopsy of America, an amazing dissection and reconstruction of four-hundred-year-old artifacts and human remains that reveal how the first settlers spent their days, how they lived and died, and what they accomplished and sufferedWithout chief archaeologist William Kelso's almost mystical vision that the original site still existed and his persistence against all odds to unearth it, we would have little to rely on but legend to tell us how modern America began. Jamestown: The Buried Truth, is brilliantly written, a story and adventure unlike any other that will forever change the way we think about what happened when John Smith and his brave followers sailed to Virginia in 1607 and established the first permanent English settlement. oPatricia Cornwell
