The Jamestown Project discusses the monumental landmark, the Jamestown Colony, that was in Atlantic history. The story of Jamestown is told in a much more authentic and elaborate style than that presented in our textbooks. As Kupperman points out, Jamestown was not only important to U.S. history but also to British history. From motivations to lasting effects, it provides an accurate account of all the components involved in Jamestown. Additionally, there is a chapter dedicated to the Native American experience, which shows a non-Western view of events. The book is written in a format that is easily readable but also compact with information. More importantly, it puts Jamestown in its rightful place in the history of the United States and Great Britain, as the foundation of the colonial United States and the British Empire. In this book, Kupperman recounts a well-known event in considerable detail. He intentionally uses the last three chapters of the nine to tell the story of Jamestown. The first six relate to how Jamestown came to be. The first chapter deals with the political, national and religious conflicts during this period and how this prompted the English to venture into the West. The second is entitled “Adventurers, opportunities and improvisation”. The highlight of this chapter is the story of John Smith and how his invaluable experience allowed him to save "the Jamestown colony from certain ruin." (51) He is just one example of “many whose first experiences in this regard were Africa or the eastern Mediterranean, later turning their acquired skills into American ventures.” (43) Chapter three discusses the interaction between Europeans and Native Americans before and during this period. “The peoples of North America had had a broad and intimate experience of Europeans long before colonies were thought of, and through this experience they had come to understand much about the different kinds of people across the sea.” (73) This exchange of information occurred because many Europeans lived among the natives (not as settlers or settlers), and the natives were brought back to Europe. People in Europe were very fascinated by these new people and their culture. The fourth chapter analyzes this fascination. We begin by talking about Thomas Trevilian, author of “an elaborate common book,” which showed that “the English public was keenly interested in the world and in understanding how to classify knowledge about all the new things, people and cultures that were now available to them specimens and descriptions.
