Narrative Of The First English Plantation Of Virginia First Printed At London in 1588 New Reproduced after De Bry's Illustrated Edition Printed At Frankfort in 1590. the Illustrations Having Been Designed in Virginia in 1585 by John White (Arneson, Robert) Benezra, Neal David ; Des Moines Art Center
London Bernard Quaritch 1893 B00085R0CS Very Good+; Hardcover; Beautiful 3/4 black leather with green cloth. Spine with 5 raised bands and gilt lettering. Bindings are in Very Good to Near Fine condition. The front pastedown has some damage to the paper from a book plate being removed, otherwise the interior and text block is in very good to near fine condition. Solid & tight with no names or writing inside. This is a reprint of the illustrated 2nd edition printed in Frankfort in 1590. The original un-illustrated fist printing was done in London in 1588. This narrative of the very first English settlement in Virginia was written by one of the actual settlers, Thomas Hariot, who arrived there with the original group of settlers in 1585. This first attempt by the English to colonize the new world was doomed to failure, and the settlement was abandoned in 1856. Most of the illustrations attributed to another settler, a draftsman named John White, are of the Native Indians of that area. These hand drawings made in 1585 were carried to Europe and entrusted for engraving to the hands of the famous artists Theodore de Bry, of Frankfort. These engravings were then used in the 1590 Frankfort printing. 8vo Illustrated by Theodore Debry & John White

French And Native North American Marriages 1600-1800 Bunnell, Paul J.
Heritage Books Inc 2004 0788425951 As New; Paperback; Crisp & Clean, Like new 8vo 8" - 9" tall
176 pages; After finding his four Huron lines who came from Ontario, Canada, and who took refuge in Quebec with the help of the Jesuit priests around 1640, genealogist Paul J. Bunnell, renowned for his books on Loyalist ancestors, felt compelled to make this primary and secondary source information available to help others find their Native American connections. Persecuted by the Iroquois for trading with the French, the Huron, who had numbered around 20,000 were reduced to 2,000 by the year 1640, nearly wiping them out. Many of these Native Americans (First Nation) along with other tribes and clans of the Iroquois Nation, including all the Acadian coastal tribes, married into French families who settled areas of Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island (St. Jean) , Newfoundland, Maine, and other upper colony states, including some territories farther west. This book covers mostly the Eastern Canada and Upper New England areas, but does pick up some Miami/Detroit and a few other tribes west of the above-mentioned areas. Although this is not a perfect and complete collection, there are many families listed here that have thousands of descendants today. This book is in an easy-to-use alphabetical format with all the main surnames shown in bold print.
