Synopsis
A Brief and True Report of the New Found Land of Virginia is a historical account written by Thomas Hariot. The book is a detailed description of the first English settlement in North America, which was established in 1585 on the coast of what is now North Carolina. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the geography, flora, and fauna of the region, as well as the customs and practices of the indigenous people who lived there. Hariot's account also includes descriptions of the interactions between the English settlers and the Native Americans, including their initial friendly encounters and subsequent conflicts. In addition to its historical significance, A Brief and True Report of the New Found Land of Virginia is also notable for its illustrations, which were produced by John White, a member of the English expedition. The illustrations provide a vivid visual representation of the landscape and people of the region and are considered some of the earliest depictions of Native Americans by European explorers. Overall, A Brief and True Report of the New Found Land of Virginia is a valuable primary source for understanding the early history of North America and the interactions between European settlers and Native Americans.PAGATOWR, a kinde of graine so called by the inhabitants; the same in the West Indies is called MAYZE: English men call it Guinney wheat or Turkie wheat, according to the names of the countries from whence the like hath been brought. The grain is about the bigness of our ordinary English peaze and not much different in form and shape: but of diverse colors: some white, some red, some yellow, and some blue.
