Despite their shortcomings, and against the odds, they built Jamestown, a ramshackle outpost that laid the foundations of the British Empire and the United States of America.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on new discoveries, neglected sources, and manuscript collections scattered across the world, Savage Kingdom challenges the textbook image of Jamestown as a mere money-making venture. It reveals a reckless, daring enterprise led by outcasts of the Old World who found themselves interlopers in a new one. An intimate story in an epic setting, it shows how the land of Pocahontas came to be drawn into a new global order.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harper Perennial","offers":[{"title":"US - Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":48094163960035,"sku":"DTRHCUS-9780060090579","price":118.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1778\/4925\/files\/9780060090579.jpg?v=1770658965","url":"https:\/\/buybookbook.com\/products\/9780060090579","provider":"買書書 BuyBookBook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
