Before revolution flared in Boston, the struggle for America was waged in English council chambers and on the Atlantic seas. These pages still feel urgent. In The Genesis of the United States (Volume II), Alexander Brown traces the years 1605-1616, when policy, profit and faith pushed the English colonization of America forward while testing Spain's imperial power. His early America narrative history follows the shifting alliances of courtiers, merchants and adventurers, revealing the England Spain New World rivalry behind the first permanent footholds on the soil that would become the United States. Drawing on original correspondence, company records and state papers, this landmark colonial American history book blends gripping storytelling with a substantial primary source document collection on early 1600s North America. Brown's reconstruction of Virginia Company settlement history clarifies the contested beginnings of Jamestown and the ideas that would feed into Jamestown and Plymouth colonies and other settlements at the pre revolutionary United States origins. Equally an academic research reference book and a rewarding choice for homeschool early American history, it serves readers interested in english colonization of America, from John Smith Jamestown history to the wider rise of the transatlantic empire. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. Ideal for scholars, collectors and curious readers building a library of classic early American works.
