notes:
|
Text describes how two men from the Chickahominy tribe went with gifts to Governor Thomas Dale as tokens of their allegiance to the English. Later Captain Argall and his men visited their village and made a peace treaty with the tribe. This work was published by Johann Theodor de Bry and contains three parts. The first part includes two letters of Amerigo Vespucci describing his voyages to America in 1497 and 1499. The second is derived from Ralph Hamor, A true discours of the present state of Virginia, London, 1615. The third part is derived from Captain John Smith, A description of New England, London, 1616. Theodor de Bry's America. Pt. 10. Latin. Imprint information from colophon.
