There are a number of histories of Virginia. William Stith, _The History of the First Discovery and Settlement of Virginia_ (1747), is little more than a rehash of Captain John Smith's story. John Burk, _The History of Virginia_ (1822), though more critical, is out of date since the author did not have access to a mass of documents now available to the historian. The same criticism applies to Charles Campbell, _History of the Colony and Ancient Dominion of Virginia_ (1860). Henry Howe, _Historical Collections of Virginia_ (1845), brings together many facts, traditions, and biographical sketches. It also gives brief descriptions of contemporaneous life in the various counties. John Fiske's _Old Virginia and her Neighbors_ (1900), is interesting, but untrustworthy. Edward D. Neill, _Early Settlement of Virginia and Virginiola_ (1878), _The English Colonization of America during the Seventeenth Century_ (1871), _History of the Virginia Company of London_ (1869), _Virginia Vetusta_ (1885), and _Virginia Carolorum_ (1886), are based on primary sources and are still valuable. John Esten Cooke, _Virginia: A History of the People_ (1884), is interesting but full of mistakes. Other works on early Virginia history are Alexander Brown, _The First Republic in America_ (1898), T. J. Wertenbaker, _Virginia under the Stuarts_ (1914); Mary Newton Stanard, _The Story of Virginia's First Century_ (1928); Matthew Page Andrews, _The Soul of a Nation_ (1943), and _Virginia, the Old Dominion_ (1937); William Foote, _Sketches of Virginia_ (1850); Robert R. Howison, _A History of Virginia_ (1848); Conway W. Sams, _The Conquest of Virginia_ (1924); and Wesley Frank Craven, _Dissolution of the Virginia Company_ (1932). In 1957 the Virginia 350th Anniversary Celebration Corporation published a series of booklets on seventeenth-century Virginia history under the able editorship of Dr. Earl G. Swem. Among them are E. G. Swem and John M. Jennings, _A Selected Bibliography of Virginia_, 1607-1699; William W. Abbot, _A Virginia Chronology_, 1585-1783; Samuel M. Bemiss (ed.), _The Three Charters of the Virginia Company of London_; Wesley Frank Craven, _The Virginia Company of London_; Charles E. Hatch, Jr., _The First Seventeen Years at Jamestown_, 1607-1634; Thomas J. Wertenbaker, _Bacon's Rebellion_ and _The Government of Virginia in the Seventeenth Century_; Richard L. Morton, _Struggle against Tyranny and the Beginning of a New Era_; Martha W. Hiden, _How Justice Grew_. Dr. Wilcomb E. Washburn, _Virginia under Charles I and Cromwell_, takes issue with most Virginia historians by coming to the defense of Governor John Harvey who was kicked out of Virginia because of his despotic rule, abuse of the courts, and disregard of law.
