London England: Atlantic Books. Fine/Very Good. 2018. First Edition. Cloth. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" Tall Octavo 9781782399131 Hardcover Hardcover. First Edition. The Jamestown Brides. The Untold Story of England's 'Maids For Virgina. Small tear to top of spine and wear to top corners. In 1621, fifty-six English women crossed the Atlantic in response to the Virgina Company of London's call for maids 'young and uncorrupt' to make wives for the planters of its new colony in Virginia. The English had settled there just foruteen years previously and the company hoped to root its unruly menfolk to the land with ties of family and children. Delving into company records and original sources on both sides of the Atlantic, the author tracks the women's footsteps from their homes in England to their new lives in Virginia. Giving voice to these forgotten women of America's early history, she triumphantly invites the reader to journey alongside the brides as they travel into a perilous and uncertain future. Illustrated. 372 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.) .
