This is an account of the English adventurers whose ambitions gave shape to the settlement at Jamestown and helped to see the colony through the many tribulations of its first eighteen years. Professor Craven's treatise touches on all aspects of the Virginia Company's existence: the organization of the Company, changes in the Charter, factions and rivalries within the organization, principal sailings, problems of settlement, and the causes of the Company's demise. This is must reading for all students of early Virginia history and genealogy.

Interesting Book, But Not Very Useful,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Virginia Company of London, 1606-1624 (Guides for Genealogists, Family, and Local Historians) (Paperback)
This book provides a history of the Company from its formation until Virginia became a crown colony. However, for Americans, it's really not that useful since its primary focus seems to be the internal politics of the organization in London...relatively little on how the Company functioned in the Colony.
