About this ebook
This is the story of the first English colony in America in Jamestown, Virginia--from a roach's point of view! These pesky little insects believe that without their help the first settlers of Jamestown would have all starved or gone back to England. This volume describes how roaches see the famous Jamestown colony, and gives a good summary of this historic settlement even for skeptics who don't believe roaches had anything to do with it. The second of fifty books in the series 'American History (According to Roaches),' written for adults and children alike.
