"The Settlers: A Tale of Virginia" by William Henry Giles Kingston is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative revolves around the early encounters of colonists in Virginia, focusing on well-known historical figures like Pocahontas amidst the backdrop of their adventurous and often perilous experiences. The story ultimately spotlights themes of exploration, survival, and the trials of establishing new settlements. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Captain Amyas Layton, whose home overlooks Plymouth Sound. Two young men, Vaughan and Gilbert Audley, arrive seeking the captain, revealing they are the sons of Layton's long-lost shipmate, Captain Vaughan Audley, who was believed to have perished in Virginia. As they share their father's story of survival among the Native Americans, Captain Layton expresses his willingness to help them embark on a journey to find their father, setting the stage for an expedition filled with hope and uncertainty. The opening establishes the strong themes of friendship, loyalty, and the determination to overcome challenges, as characters prepare for their significant voyage across the ocean.
