This Dear-Bought Land

Every ship that's sailed for the glory of England has had a Warren on board and the Susan Constant will be no different. After a family tragedy, David Warren joins an expedition headed to Virginia. But not everyone approves; The legendary Capt. John Smith thinks David is too young and scrawny to be of use in the new colony. David is determined to prove that he is strong enough, and he'll need to be, as the New World isn't the adventure the colonists thought it would be. Instead of finding gold and a passage to the Pacific, they are faced with swamp fever, starvation, brutal winters, and enemies both inside and outside the walls of the fort. Perhaps John Smith's unrelenting leadership is exactly what Jamestown needs. - Back cover.
