After more than four centuries, the famous people of the Jamestown story have become American legends. But they were people first, humane and inhumane, torn with conflict. Empires in the Forest is the first book of its kind to present them as living individuals in their moment. With a fresh new approach in prose and photography, Empires takes the reader on a journey in time and empathy, to the edge of history where America began - and then back, with a new perspective on how American identity became what it is today.
