Founded thirteen years before the \u003ci\u003eMayflower\u003c\/i\u003e sailed, Jamestown's courageous settlers have been overshadowed ever since by the pilgrims of Plymouth. But as historian James Horn demonstrates in this vivid and meticulously researched account, Jamestown-not Plymouth-was the true crucible of American history. Jamestown introduced slavery into English-speaking North America; it became the first of England's colonies to adopt a representative government; and it was the site of the first white-Indian clashes over territorial expansion. \u003ci\u003eA Land As God Made It\u003c\/i\u003e offers the definitive account of the colony that give rise to America.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJames Horn is the president of the Jamestown Rediscovery Foundation.
