A unique approach to the story that sprang from England's first permanent settlement in the Americas, combining exemplary
empathy for Native peoples with an imaginative, fresh interpretation of the colonial records. Chenoweth understands that we construct our views of the past in terms of the present, that American mythology has often been called history, and that the indigenous peoples of Virginia have never been comfortable with the story that has been told about them.
