Orton and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The First Seventeen Years: Virginia 1607-1624" by Charles E. Hatch Jr. is a historical account written in the late 20th century. This work chronicles the early years of the English colony in Virginia, focusing on the challenges, developments, and significant events that led to the establishment of Jamestown and the surrounding settlements. It is particularly relevant for readers interested in American history, colonial ventures, and the complex interactions between settlers and Native Americans. The opening of the book introduces the Virginia Company of London and its ambitious mission to create the first permanent English settlement in America. It details the arrival of settlers at Jamestown in May 1607, highlighting the pioneers, their motivations, and the immediate challenges they faced, including conflicts with Native Americans and struggles for survival in a new and often hostile environment. Additionally, it touches on the internal conflicts among the settlers themselves, as leadership disputes and differing objectives put the colony at risk. The narrative sets up a rich exploration of the subsequent years in Virginia, filled with hardship, growth, and the gradual adaptation to the new world.
