notes:
Governor Thomas Dale, after John Rolfe's successful marriage to Pocahontas, decided that he would marry the youngest of Powhatan's daughters. He sent Raphe Hamor to the native village to negotiate the settlement; Powhatan had already promised his daughter to another chief and refused to change his mind. 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.
