"Pioneers of the Old South: A Chronicle of English Colonial Beginnings" by Mary Johnston is a historical narrative that explores the English settlement of America, primarily in Virginia, during the early 1600s and describes the settlers' interactions with native populations. The story starts in England and looks at the events surrounding the departure of ships—the Susan Constant, Goodspeed, and Discovery—as they head to Virginia in search of wealth. Key people such as Captain Newport and John Smith steer the journey of the colonists as they travel to a new land filled with the unknown of what is yet to come.
