Powhatan's World and Colonial Virginia: A Conflict of Cultures

Frederic W. Gleach offers the most balanced and complete accounting of the early years of the Jamestown colony to date. When English colonists established their first permanent settlement at Jamestown in 1607, they confronted a powerful and growing Native chiefdom consisting of over thirty tribes under one paramount chief, Powhatan. For the next half-century, a portion of the Middle Atlantic coastal plain became a charged and often violent meeting ground between two very different worlds. Frederic W. Gleach is a visiting assistant professor in the Department of Anthropology at Cornell University.
