Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from John Smith Gentleman Adventurer The history of the world furnishes few lives so romantic and replete with stirring incident as that of John Smith, the founder of the first English colony in America - that settlement at Jamestown in Virginia, of which the United States of today is the outgrowth. John Smith began life in the year 1580, in the glorious reign of Good Queen Bess. It was a world of turmoil into which our hero came, but a most fitting field for so adventurous a spirit. In France, the gallant Henry of Navarre was fighting for a kingdom and his faith against the Catholic League. In the Low Countries, the sturdy Dutchmen, under Maurice of Orange, were defending their homes from the invasion of the arrogant and bigoted Spaniard, who deemed it his duty to punish every Protestant people. In the east of Europe, the Ottomans - Asiatics from Turkestan and other countries - maintained an incessant and savage warfare against the subjects of the Emperor of Germany. There was but one peaceful spot In all Christendom, and that the "right little, tight little island" of our forefathers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The swashbuckling life of the Elizabethan explorer and colonial governor is vividly recounted in this historical biography. Captain John Smith is best remembered for his association with Pocahontas, but this was only a small part of an extraordinary life filled with danger and adventure. As a soldier, he fought the Turks in Eastern Europe, where he beheaded three Turkish adversaries in duels. He was sold into slavery, then murdered his master to escape. He sailed under a pirate flag, was shipwrecked, and marched to the gallows to be hanged, only to be reprieved at the eleventh hour. All this before he was thirty years old. Smith was one of the founders of Jamestown, the first permanent English settlement in America. He faced considerable danger from the Native Americans as well as from competing factions within the settlement itself. In the face of all this, Smith’s leadership saved the settlement from failure.

In fact, were it not for Smith's leadership, the Jamestown colony would surely have failed. Yet Smith was a far more ambitious explorer and soldier of fortune than these tales suggest. This swashbuckling Elizabethan adventurer was resourceful, intelligent and outspoken, with a vision of what America could become. In this riveting book, R.E. Pritchard tells the rip-roaring story of a remarkable man who refused to give in.

Book excerpt: This is the true story of an English soldier who, after many adventures including fighting in the Crusades against the Turks, was sent to establish a colony in Virginia along with 3 ships and a large number of colonists. The settlement was called Jamestown. Many believe that Smith's exploits were highly embroidered by the man himself and that he was indeed a very unpleasant person, but this is still a very interesting slice of Early American history.
