Certificate of Commendation, American Association for State
and Local History, 2003
Addressed to specialists and nonspecialists alike, Before
and After Jamestown
introduces the Powhatans--the Native Americans of Virginia's
coastal plains, who played an integral part in the life of the Williamsburg and
Jamestown settlements--in scenes that span 1,100 years, from just before their
earliest contact with Europeans to the present day. Synthesizing a wealth of
documentary and archaeological data, the authors have produced a book at once
thoroughly grounded in scholarship and accessible to the general reader. They
have also extended the historical account through the native people's long-term
adaptation to European immigrants and into the immediate present and their
continuing efforts to gain greater recognition.Illustrated with more than 100 photographs, maps, and
drawings, the book also includes an entire chapter, from the Powhatan
perspective, on the original English fort at Jamestown. The authors provide
suggestions for additional reading for both children and adults as well as a
list of relevant sites to visit in Virginia.
