Excerpt from The Conquest of Virginia the Forest Primeval: An Account, Based on Original Documents, of the Indians in That Portion of the Continent in Which Was Established the First English Colony in America
Before beginning the narrative of the events which occurred on this continent when the English proceeded to take possession of it, it has seemed proper to view the country itself, the stage upon which so important a drama was to be presented, and the race which then occupied it.
We are enabled to do this with the aid of the writings of those who lived at that period, and who participated in these scenes.
