Studying early 17th-century Virginia is challenging for the average researcher, due to the loss of many County Court, General Court and other records, so any scholarly contribution to the discussion of that time period is welcome. But the inexplicable lack of an index forces me to give this otherwise useful volume only 3 stars. Hopefully the recent revised additions have corrected this oversight.

Since its original publication in 1975, The Old Dominion in the Seventeenth Century has become an important teaching tool and research volume. Warren Billings brings together more than 200 period documents, organized topically, with each chapter introduced by an interpretive essay. Topics include the settlement of Jamestown, the evolution of government and the structure of society, forced labor, the economy, Indian-Anglo relations, and Bacon's Rebellion. This revised, expanded, and updated edition adds approximately 30 additional documents, extending the chronological reach to 1700. Freshly rethought chapter introductions and suggested readings incorporate the vast scholarship of the past 30 years. New illustrations of seventeenth-century artifacts and buildings enrich the texts with recent archaeological findings. With these enhancements, and a full index, students, scholars, and those interested in early Virginia will find these documents even more enlightening. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
