Kelly Library Of St. Gregory's University, Alev Akman, and David Widger "Pioneers of the Old South: A Chronicle of English Colonial Beginnings" by Mary Johnston is a historical account likely written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the English colonization efforts in the Americas, focusing on the early settlers' journeys and challenges, particularly around Virginia, and depicts the interactions between the colonists and Indigenous peoples. At the start of the narrative, the reader is introduced to the political backdrop of early 17th century England, where colonization is reignited after a peace treaty with Spain. The book details the launch of three ships—Susan Constant, Goodspeed, and Discovery—in search of a prosperous venture in Virginia, filled with hopes of wealth and opportunity. As the ships set sail, we meet several key figures, including Captain Newport and adventurers like John Smith, who would play pivotal roles in establishing the colony. The tone combines poetic elements with a sense of adventure, promising a blend of historical facts and engaging storytelling as the ships journey from England to the New World, setting the stage for the trials and events to come.
