I am currently reading Thomas Harriot's 1590AD report on Virginia (modern North Carolina). There is nothing like reading the old script, as I have with my hard copy reprinted by Dover Publishers, but this site at least has the text and illustrations.
This text and report is associated, of course, with the ill-fated Roanoke colony. A rather early planting of the St. George's Cross in the New World!
