Robert Beverley was a scion of Virginia's planter elite, ambitious and at odds with royal governors in the colony. As a native-born American he provided English readers with the first full account of the province's past, natural history, Indians, and current politics and society. This new edition places the author and his book in the context of the political and cultural issues of his day and explores the many contradictions embedded in his narrative.Published for the Omohundro Institute of Early American History and Culture, Williamsburg, VirginiaIndians of North AmericaVirginiaVirginiaHistoryColonial period, ca. 1600-1775Electronic books.Indians of North America975.5Beverley Robertapproximately 1673-1722,133613Parrish Susan ScottAtias DaphnaRountree Helen C.1944-Burdette KathrynOmohundro Institute of Early American History & Culture,MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910463796603321History and present state of Virginia444674UNINA
