From the preface: "IN the following pages it has been attempted to give some account of the English colonization of the coast of North America and the foundation of that great country now known as the United States. On this side of the Atlantic, at least, the lives of the early adventurers who commenced and carried out that work are not so well known as they should be, though the record of their efforts is rich in incident, often of a thrilling kind, even surpassing that of the fictitious tales through which chiefly our young people get their impressions of America. What manner of men were those pioneers of civilization, and what difficulties they had to encounter, I have tried to show in a narrative that, while not uninstructive, pretends to no grave and profound character. The ordinary rules of historical perspective have not been observed; my aim has rather been to put forward the picturesque features of the story in the hope of enticing young readers to a closer study of a subject as much neglected as it abounds in interest and information. Nor need I be afraid to appeal to that bountiful patron of light literature, the " general reader " of the period, for his notions of American history are often as vague as were my heroes' notions of American geography."
