This revised edition of “Tobacco Corn & Caviar” offers a comprehensive collection of founding documents from the Virginia Company and the early years of Jamestown, the first permanent English settlement in North America. Meticulously compiled by historian Curtin S. Reinhardt, this volume provides invaluable insights into the motivations, challenges, and day-to-day realities faced by the Jamestown colonists between 1606 and 1625.

Beyond the historical significance of these primary sources, the book also sheds light on the complex relationships between the English settlers, the Virginia Company investors, and the indigenous Powhatan people. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of the economic, political, and cultural forces that shaped the early colonial experience, including the cultivation of tobacco, the often-strained interactions with Native Americans, and the struggles for survival in an unfamiliar environment.

Collectors and readers alike will appreciate the opportunity to immerse themselves in the authentic voices and perspectives captured within these pages, offering a vivid and unvarnished account of a pivotal moment in the nation’s founding narrative.
