RaveThe Roanoke Times... a detailed history of Virginia’s founding and early growth, which examines the socio-political interaction of indigenous peoples and English settlers ... Horn’s story rivals any narrative—fact or fiction—and provides ample suspense and action to entertain the reader. His examination of Opechancanough’s lineage gives him an opportunity to display his superb scholarship and debunk earlier work which mistook Chief Powhatan’s younger brother for his father. A Brave and Cunning Prince joins the aforementioned previous Horn works in providing a complete and intriguing look at the early years of Virginia by questioning previous assumptions of other historians and providing highly detailed and well-researched accounts of these seminal events.
