Captain John Smith

By C.H. Forbes-Lindsay and Charles Harcourt Ainslie Forbes-Lindsay

Book Overview

A stirring voyage into a world of peril, ambition, and discovery. A portrait of a restless mind charting new seas, and a nation beginning to take shape. Captain John Smith by C. H. Forbes-Lindsay offers a concise, absorbing historical biography set in seventeenth century Britain and on the edge of colonial Virginia. This edition renders a cornerstone of colonial era history accessible to general interest readers and history students alike, while honouring the work's durable significance as a classic maritime narrative. It is not merely a retelling; it is a curated experience that illuminates early american colonisation, the daring, often brutal realities of sea life, and the complex web of frontier ambition.

The result is a compact, authoritative slice of the complete public domain collection that sits well on classroom study material shelves and in personal libraries. Casual readers will find a gripping historical biography with vivid scenes and clear context, while collectors will value its significance as a cultural treasure and a finely restored artefact of public domain classics. A timely bridge from the past to present scholarship, ideal for study, contemplation, and long, rewarding reading sessions through colonial virginia and beyond.
