Description

A Description of New England or in its complete title, A description of New England, or, Observations and discoveries in the north of America in the year of Our Lord 1614, with the success of six ships that went the next year, 1615 is a narrative by Captain John Smith and was released in 1616 as a work of propaganda in exposition of the fertile land, sufficient reserves, and a large number of resources which were all discovered in the New England.

The book gives an extensive detail about the wildlife, forest, “majestic land forms like the mountains,” and many other details about nature, as the rivers and the ocean, that the two of those supplied a limitless quantity of subsistence. Smith had this thought that the newly discovered land is a hideaway place, although the natural resources and its wealth were honestly acquired, which the devout refugees wanted to hear when they leave their country of origin.

Captain John Smith was an Admiral of New England, a soldier, explorer and writer. He was conferred for his services to the Prince of Transylvania, Sigismund Báthory, and his friend Mózes Székely. He was remarkable for inaugurating the Jamestown, the first stable English settlement in North America. He led the Virginia Colony situated at Jamestown from the dates September 1608 to August 1609, and he was a leader of the discovery of the rivers of Virginia and the Chesapeake Bay. He was the first British discoverer to outline the area of the Chesapeake Bay and New England.

His works such as his books and maps were all significant in motivating and promoting the conquest of England in the New World. He named the New World as New England and stated: “Here every man may be a master and owner of his owne labour and land… If he have nothing but his hands, he may…by industries quickly grow rich.”
