Excerpt: ... shoal water, discerning their approach to the land by the delicious fragrance with which the air was loaded; as if, to use the words of. their letter to Raleigh, " we had been in the midst of some delicate garden abounding with all kinds of odoriferous flowers."--(flaA-fa, vol. Hi., p. 246.J The name of, the country where the English landed was Wingandaeoa, and of the sovereign Wingina. His kingdom was of moderate extent, and surrounded by states under independent princes. Having examined as much of the interior as their time would permit, our countrymen sailed homeward, accompanied by two of the natives named Wanchese and Manteo, and arrived in England in the middle of September. Raleigh was highly delighted with this new discovery, establishing in so satisfactory a manner the results of his previous reasoning, and undertaken at his sole suggestion and expense. His royal mistress was scarcely less gratified, and issued her command that the new country, so full of amenity and beauty, should be called Virginia, (Oldys' Life of Raleigh, p. 58J as a memorial that this happy discovery had been made under a virgin queen. Shortly after, Raleigh fitted out a fleet of seven vessels for Virginia, the command of which he entrusted to his relative, Sir Richard Grenville, (a man of chivalrous bravery and disinterested character.) Part of these were fitted out at Sir Walter's expense, and the remainder by his companions in the adventure, one of whom was Thomas Candish, or Cavendish, afterward so eminent as a navigator, who now served under Grenville. On the 26th June, 1585, after some delays at Hispaniola and Florida, they proceeded to Wokoken, in Virginia.

Book excerpt: “A rich, complex history . . . Deeply engaging and witty” (Los Angeles Times). Long before Columbus arrived in the New Word, tobacco was cultivated and enjoyed by the indigenous inhabitants of the Americas, who used it for medicinal, religious, and social purposes. But when Europeans began to colonize the American continents, it became something else entirely—a cultural touchstone of pleasure and success, and a coveted commodity that would transform the world economy forever. Iain Gately’s Tobacco tells the epic story of an unusual plant and its unique relationship with the history of humanity, from its obscure ancient beginnings, through its rise to global prominence, to its current embattled state today. In a lively narrative, Gately makes the case for the tobacco trade being the driving force behind the growth of the American colonies, the foundation of Dutch trading empire, the underpinning cause of the African slave trade, and the financial basis for victory in the American Revolution. Well-researched and wide-ranging, Tobacco is a vivid and provocative look at the surprising roles this plant has played in the culture of the world. “Ambitious . . . informative and perceptive . . . Gately is an amusing writer, which is a blessing.” —The Washington Post “Documents the resourcefulness with which human beings of every class, religion, race, and continent have pursued the lethal leaf.” —The New York Times Book Review

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tobacco in History and Culture explores how tobacco became one of the most important commodities in the history of world trade and the source of one of the biggest public health concerns in modern history. Originally used by Native Americans for medicinal, religious and social purposes, tobacco quickly became the biggest export from the American colonies. By the mid-1990s, more than 14 billion pounds of tobacco leaf were grown worldwide each year, with international treaties governing its advertising and distribution. It has affected agriculture, religion, social customs, business and trade, government policy and medicine in many countries. The unique and innovative reference work presents entries on all aspects of tobacco and from a global perspective, providing support for assignments at many levels and in a variety of fields, including history, economics, government and health. Tobacco in History and Culture is the first set in a new reference line, the Scribner Turning Points Library. Future titles will explore other discoveries and historical events that have changed the direction of human societies worldwide, whether through sudden upheavals or gradual evolution.
