This review is from: A Briefe and True Report of the New Found Land of Virginia (Rosenwald Collection Reprint Series) (Paperback)

As I indicated in my title this book is an excellent primary resource for historians or students studying history. While it can be annoying to read words spelled in the older manner once you become accustomed to the spelling the book is a great read and offers good insight into the minds of the early English explorers to the Americas. Obviously one should be wary that the original authors were writing to make themselves appear nobler and the Americas to seem more ideal.
