The Settlement of America: An Encyclopedia of Westward Expansion from Jamestown to the Closing of the Frontier

by James A. Crutchfield, Candy Moutlon, Terry Del Bene

Overview

First Published in 2015. This encyclopaedic collection includes Volumes 1 (A-L) and 2 (M-Z) as well as essays on the settlement of America. It can be argued that the westward expansion occurred only one week after the English landfall at Jamestown, Virginia, on May 14, 1607. Beginning on May 21, Captain John Smith, one of the colonization company’s leaders, and twenty-one companions made their way northwest up the James River for some 50 or 60 miles (80 or 96 km).
