Publisher's Synopsis
""Afloat and Ashore with Sir Walter Raleigh"" is a historical fiction novel written by Janet Gordon Hardy and published in 1876. The story follows the adventures of a young English boy named Philip Amadas, who sets sail with Sir Walter Raleigh on his expedition to establish a colony in the New World. As they journey across the Atlantic, Philip learns about the dangers and hardships of life at sea, as well as the politics and rivalries that threaten to undermine Raleigh's mission. Along the way, Philip also forms a close bond with a Native American girl named Manteo, who teaches him about her people's culture and customs. When they finally reach the shores of what will become Virginia, Philip and his companions must navigate the challenges of building a new settlement in a land that is both beautiful and treacherous. Through Philip's eyes, readers get a vivid glimpse into the world of Elizabethan England and the early days of English colonization in America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
