The founding story of Virginia actually goes back even further to before Jamestown was established. The story starts a little bit further in Europe with a tale revolving around gaining support to establish a colony, starting with the stories of Roanoke and Jamestown. It has to do with the competition between the countries and other players competing for a slice of the New World, and it also is significantly intertwined with the “native people.” The original inhabitants, their interactions with the foreigners and how they banded together to fight the “invaders.” The book depicts a story that starts even before the story of Richmond actually began, with the interactions of the Powhatan and their allies eventually being pushed out.
