| Summary | "The Birth of the Nation, Jamestown, 1607" by Sara Agnes Rice Pryor is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the establishment of the English colony at Jamestown, Virginia, highlighting the motivations, struggles, and encounters faced by the settlers. It aims to recount the early days of America’s colonial history, focusing on significant figures like Sir Walter Raleigh and Captain John Smith, and the interactions between the colonists and indigenous peoples. At the start of the narrative, the author reflects on the significance of the Jamestown settlement and its celebration three hundred years later, evoking the mixture of anticipation and trepidation experienced by the early adventurers as they landed on unfamiliar shores. The opening describes figures from the past, such as Columbus and early explorers, while setting the stage for the account of the English settlers who aimed to claim land in the face of both opportunity and danger, primarily from the native populations they encountered.
