SynopsisFrom the award-winning author of "Stealing Freedom." When 12-year-old Samuel Collier boards a ship bound for the New World, he can't believe his good fortune. Collier learns he can be whomever he wants in the New World settlement of Jamestown., Twelve-year-old Samuel Collier is a lowly commoner on the streets of London. So when he becomes the page of Captain John Smith and boards the ship the Susan Constant, bound for the New World, he can't believe his good fortune. He's heard that gold washes ashore with every tide. But beginning with the stormy journey and his first contact with the native people, he realizes that the New World is nothing like he had ever imagined.The lush Virginia shore where they establish the colony of James Town is both beautiful and forbidding, and it's hard to know who's a friend or foe. As he learns the language of the Algonquin Indians and observes Captain Smith's wise diplomacy, Samuel begins to see that he can be whomever he wants to be in this new land., Twelve-year-old Samuel Collier is a lowly commoner on the streets of London.

Rough Times for Jamestowne Settlers.
Blood on the River was a great book. The author makes use of actual writings from 1607 and future dates. She uses words from Captain John Smith and other explorers of the time. This book was written on the level of young adult so that anyone may enjoy the content. Following Sam as he is working for Rev. Hunt and Captain Smith keeps the interest alive. Reading about James Towne is something many early American historians will enjoy.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Excellent History
This is a fictional novel based on historical facts. I found it extremely interesting. I purchased it because a friend of mine who teaches fourth grade, was buying them for her entire class. I decided to buy one myself and became so engrossed in it I could not put it down. And my daughter is reading it to her children. It makes you want to go to Jamestown Virginia and revisit it. I also purchased another similar book and I’m waiting for it to arrive.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
