Sir George Yeardley: The Briton who shaped early America.

I should imagine many books have been written about Jamestown and its early settlers but here we possibly have tangible evidence of one of the main players.
"The Virginia Company (which controlled the colony) wanted a society that was an improvement on England," says Dr[James J] Horn author of an upcoming book, 1619: Jamestown and the Forging of American Democracy.
This book is due for release on 16th October this year and I for one will be ordering a copy. In fact, due to reading this piece I have just ordered a copy of Dr. Horn's "A Land as God Made it: Jamestown and the Birth of America." which going by the reviews promises to be a great read and will make a useful addition to my small library of early American history books.
Regards,
Jay.
