This volume of essays illustrates the richness and variety of the work being done, especially by a group of young social historians. Through its important sampling of new research, it succeeds in bringing the Chesapeake into focus as a region.The rediscovery of the early Chesapeake, emigration, and marriage and family are three of the essay topics. Other subjects include environment, disease, and mortality; immigration and opportunity; parental death in a particular county; settlement patterns; political stability and the emergence of a native elite; and English-born and Creole elites in turn-of-the-century Virginia.While the essays individually exemplify a number of distinct themes and methodological approaches to the subject, as a whole they provide a remarkable comprehensive overview of the progression in the seventeenth century from a predominantly emigrant society, subsisting under conditions of great instability and high mortality, to a largely native-born population that had achieved a notable degree of political and social stability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003ePaperback in colors of brown, white and red with scene of sailing | vessel in background | 307 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n        ","brand":"Miakarts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49679821406448,"sku":"NEW0393009564","price":33.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/ethereallybeautiful.com\/products\/the-chesapeake-in-the-seventeenth-century-essays-on-anglo-a","provider":"Ethereally Beautiful","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
