1804 Thomas Jefferson 1ed Burk
History of VIRGINIA Colonial America Columbus 2v
John Burk’s “History of Virginia” is
one of the best early 19th-century accounts of the history of Virginia
and colonial America. It also happens to be one of the most historically
accurate and relevant much in part to the availability of first-hand
manuscripts from Thomas Jefferson. While the majority of the work focuses on
the development of American culture and politics, Burk does provide context for
influences including ancient Egyptian commerce, Carthaginian military, and Columbus
and Spanish exploration.
These first two volumes from the 1804 first
edition include many of Thomas Jefferson’s own remarks found in his “Notes
on the State of Virginia”.
