(1896), is a highly interesting and exhaustive survey.
The same author has written "Social Life of Virginia in the Seventeenth Century" (1907) and "Institutional History of Virginia in the Seventeenth Century", 2 vols.

(1910).
John Fiske's "Virginia and Her Neighbors," 2 vols.

(1897), and John E.
Cooke's Virginia (American Commonwealth Series, 1883) are written in lighter vein than the foregoing histories and possess much literary distinction.
On Captain John Smith there are writings innumerable.

Some writers give credence to Smith's own narratives, while others do not.

John Fiske accepts the narratives as history, and Edward Arber, who has edited them (2 vols., 1884), holds that the "General History" (1624) is more reliable than the "True Relation" (1608).
