{"product_id":"9780465030958","title":"A Land As God Made It: Jamestown and the Birth of America","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlthough it was the first permanent English settlement in North America, Jamestown is too often overlooked in the writing of American history. Founded thirteen years before the \u003ci\u003eMayflower\u003c\/i\u003e sailed, Jamestown's courageous settlers have been overshadowed ever since by the pilgrims of Plymouth. But as historian James Horn demonstrates in this vivid and meticulously researched account, Jamestown-not Plymouth-was the true crucible of American history. Jamestown introduced slavery into English-speaking North America; it became the first of England's colonies to adopt a representative government; and it was the site of the first white-Indian clashes over territorial expansion. As we approach the four-hundredth anniversary of Jamestown in 2007, \u003ci\u003eA Land As God Made It\u003c\/i\u003e offers the definitive account of the colony that give rise to America.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Basic Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48201840623856,"sku":"9780465030958","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780465030958","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
