Produced by Barbara Kosker, Steven Gibbs and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The History of the Thirteen Colonies of North America 1497-1763" by Reginald W. Jeffery is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work provides a detailed narrative of the development of the thirteen British colonies in North America, focusing on key events and figures from the time of early exploration up until the mid-18th century. The book likely appeals to readers interested in colonial history, maritime exploration, and the socio-political dynamics of early America. At the start of this historical narrative, the author introduces the reader to the early English voyages to North America, highlighting the significance of explorers like John and Sebastian Cabot and contrasting their endeavors with those of Spanish and French colonizers. Jeffery argues that England's colonial successes stemmed from distinct approaches to exploration and settlement, emphasizing the early English focus on establishing sustainable colonies rather than purely seeking immediate wealth. The text sets the stage for a detailed exploration of the subsequent establishment of various colonies and the challenges they faced, all guided by the author’s scholarly insights on the motivations and interactions of the early English explorers and settlers.
