| 520 | _a"Old Virginia and Her Neighbours, Vol. 1 (of 2)" by John Fiske is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work provides an in-depth exploration of Virginia's colonial history, beginning with Sir Walter Raleigh's expeditions and moving through to the time of George Washington and the French encroachment on English territory up to 1753. Fiske aims to illustrate the broader implications of Virginia's story within the context of American history, emphasizing its pivotal role in the development of the United States. At the start of the volume, the reader is introduced to the significance of early explorations, including the contributions of influential figures such as Raleigh and Hakluyt. The opening chapters discuss the motivations behind the discovery and settlement of America by the English, contrasting it with Spanish colonization efforts. Fiske reflects on the initial enthusiasm surrounding the New World and presents a narrative that sketches the early challenges, triumphs, and complex interactions between European settlers and Native Americans, setting the tone for the unfolding historical narrative that he will pursue throughout the work.
