About Arrival Of The First Africans In Virginia
Product Description In 1619, a group of thirty-two African men, women and children arrived on the shores of Virginia. They had been kidnapped in the royal city of Kabasa, Angola, and forced aboard the Spanish slave ship San Juan Bautista. The ship was attacked by privateers, and the captives were taken by the English to their New World colony. This group has been shrouded in controversy ever since. Historian Ric Murphy documents a fascinating story of colonialism, treason, piracy, kidnapping, enslavement and British law. Review "Murphy's account, with its depth and sensitivity, is a welcomed addition to that historical and horrible period of Virginia history." The Virginia Gazette The "Arrival of the First Africans in Virginia, byRic Murphy, provides such eye-opening facts to add context to Virginia historyand to current issues." Boomer Magazine "Like the true researcher he is, Murphy does notcontent himself with relying on accepted and long-held views of hissubject. He reexamines EVERYTHING - much like removing the contents of anancient trunk and bringing them into the light for the first time incenturies. The humble Clinch Valley Times gives this book a Five Star Rating."
