The Discovery of New Brittaine"The Discovery of New Brittaine, written by Edward Bland and published in London in 1651, relates the explorations achieved by the author and a few companions from Virginia to what is now the border region of North Carolina and Virginia. Bland's account illustrates how colonial expansion was carried forward from established bases in Virginia and the manner in which explorers sometimes attempted to profit from their discoveries."--Introduction. |
