TAILIEUCHUNG - The Bounty of the Chesapeake

The voyage to America in 1607 was like a journey to a star. Veteran rovers though the English were, none of them had any clear idea of what to expect in the new land of Virginia. Only one thing was certain: they would have nothing there but what they took with them or wrought from the raw materials of the country. What raw materials? They had reliable information that the climate was mild. Therefore, crops could be raised. They learned of inexhaustible timber: so ships and dwellings and industrial works could be built. They hoped for gold and dreamed of access to uncharted lands of adventure | The Bounty of the Chesapeake by James Wharton 1 The Bounty of the Chesapeake by James Wharton The Project Gutenberg eBook The Bounty of the Chesapeake by James Wharton This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with almost no restrictions whatsoever.
