| Summary | "Richard of Jamestown: A Story of the Virginia Colony" by James Otis is a historical account likely written in the late 19th century. This narrative aims to present the challenges and daily life of the early colonists in America, particularly through the eyes of a young boy named Richard Mutton, who embarks on an adventure to Virginia alongside famed explorer Captain John Smith. The opening of the story introduces us to Richard Mutton, an orphaned boy whose journey to the New World is spurred by his desire to escape a life of hardship in London. After his father's death, Richard learns of an opportunity to sail with Captain John Smith's expedition to Virginia. The narrative establishes Richard's youthful perspective and highlights his admiration for Captain Smith, detailing the difficulties of childhood in London and the sense of adventure that excites him about embarking on this treacherous journey. The account hints at the kind of hardships and adventures that await the protagonists as they face the unknown wilderness of Virginia. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
