This book was released on 2012-12-01 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dissolution of the ill-starred Virginia Company in 1624 left Virginia -- now England's first royal colony -- without a formal raison d'etre. Most historians have suggested that the nascent local societies were anarchic, under the thrall of violent and unscrupulous men. James Perry asserts the opposite: The Formation of a Society on Virginia's Eastern Shore, 1615-1655 depicts emergent social cohesion. In a model of network analysis, Perry mines county court records to trace landholders through four decades -- their land, families, neighborhoods, local and offshore economic relations, and institutions. A wealth of statistics documents their development from rudimentary beginnings to a more highly articulated society capable of resolving conflict and working toward communal good. Perry's methodology will serve as a model for analyzing other new settlements, particularly those lacking the close-knit religious bonds and contractual foundations of New England towns. His conclusions will reshape notions of the development of early Chesapeake society. Originally published in 1990.

Book excerpt: In An "Uncertaine Rumor" of Land, Jenean Hall reveals the sequence of events that led to a permanent English settlement on Virginia's Eastern Shore. The setting places us in the midst of the Virginia colony's struggle to accomplish demands as outlined in the Virginia Company's Great Charter of 1618. Fallout from this charter displaced some colonists and created a great burden on others, especially in the port settlement known as Elizabeth City (today's Hampton). One displaced colonist sought a new home, only to be displaced again because of the Company's demand for iron. Hall shows how such events played a role to bring John Blore and his new bride, Frances Lake, to Virginia's Eastern Shore to become its first permanent settlers. The Blores were soon followed by John Wilcocks whose small plantation developed as an overflow from the unexpected crush of people at Elizabeth City. During this same time, the eastern shore's fertility and beauty attracted the colony's Secretary Pory who placed a contingent of men on land between the Blores and Wilcocks. This ordinary progression of settlement was shattered on March 22, 1622 (n.s.), when mainland tribes of the Powhatan Confederacy attacked the mainland plantations and killed a quarter of the colony's European population. The ensuing fear and chaos prompted the Virginia governor and council to search for safe, inhabitable places. Under the governor's commission, the former governor, Sir George Yeardley, took several vessels of people to the Eastern Shore where he and Thomas Savage, an interpreter, negotiated for land with the eastern shore's Indian leader, a man known as the Laughing King. Yeardley was working toward developing a new, larger plantation off the Ackomack River when he was suddenly ordered to stop work. However, eyes had turned eastward and many liked what they saw. Most important at this time, the eastern shore's native people were welcoming and peaceful. European settlement on Virginia's Eastern Shore began to thrive. A rare treat in colonial Virginia history, this book tells an extraordinary story that hasn't been heard before now.

Book excerpt: "Error in history is like a flock of sheep jumping over a bridge; if one goes, the rest all follow." (Charles Campbell, cited by Jennings Cropper Wise in Ye Kingdom of Accawmacke) In Another Day, Jenean Hall sets her hand to some of the errors told about colonial Virginia's Eastern Shore history. For example, some historians are still saying that Sir George Yeardley was in cahoots with Captain Epps against Thomas Savage, yet no evidence supports that premise. Another oft-told tale is that Edmund Scarburgh led an unauthorized raid against the Indians in 1651, yet the records tell a different story. Another Day breaks some myths and retells other stories with revealing details. Also in these chapters, we learn that the first Eastern Shore attorney of record was a woman; the Laughing King was not named for his personality; and "Dunking was not always about doughnuts." Another Day is well-cited research, written for your enjoyment.
