Synopsis
The mainsail cracked above them in the ferocious wind as a group of red-faced men descended on John. "You have brought a curse on us. Overboard with you," one of the men yelled. A chorus of cheers went up. It was the last sound John heard before he was dumped over the side of the ship and engulfed by the dark, roiling ocean." Thrown overboard, enslaved by the Turks, captured by pirates, rescued by a princess-the story of Englishman John Smith (1580-1631) would seem unbelievable were it fiction. Young John first sought adventure in Europe, traveling as far as Russia and distinguishing himself in the wars that raged across the Old World. But John Smith's real passion was for the New World, and in 1607 he sailed to North America with the men who would establish the first lasting British settlement-Jamestown. There he fought level-headedly for the policies that would enable the fragile community to survive starvation, disease, and deadly attacks to become a foothold in the New World. Heroes of History is a unique biography series that brings the shaping of history to life with the remarkable true stories of fascinating men and women who changed the course of history. The stories of Heroes of History are told in an engaging narrative format, where related history, geography, government, and science topics come to life and make a lasting impression. This is a premier biography line for the entire family. Pages: 192 (paperback)Ages: 10+, John Smith: Foothold in the New World details the life and story of Englishman John Smith, the man who founded Jamestown. Thrown overboard, enslaved by the Turks, captured by pirates and rescued by a princess, the story would seem unbelievable were it fiction. John Smith's real passion, however, lay in the exciting New World. In 1607, he sailed to North America with the men who would establish the first lasting British settlement, Jamestown. There he argued rationally for the policies that would enable the fledgling community to survive starvation, disease, and deadly Indian attacks to become the foothold in the New World. This book is part of the Heroes of History series of biographies that are told in an engaging narrative format.
