概要
May 14th, 1607. One hundred and four men and boys wade ashore onto a low, marshy Virginia peninsula and drive stakes into the ground. This is Jamestown — the first permanent English settlement in America. Permanent is doing a lot of work in that sentence. Within seven months, more than half of them will be dead.
They arrived at the edge of the Powhatan Confederacy — thirty nations, tens of thousands of people, controlled by a man named Wahunsenacah whom the English called Chief Powhatan. He was not a savage. He was a king. And he had a plan for the English that had nothing to do with their plan for him.
What followed was a catastrophe built from bad land, bad water, bad planning, and the collision between a company that needed a return on its investment and a continent that did not care. George Percy watched men die in their cabins faster than the living could bury them, their bodies dragged out like dogs. This is the story of the Starving Time — and of the decisions, on both sides of the James River, that made it inevitable.
