Richard of Jamestown : a Story of the Virginia Colony
James Otis is credited with the phrase "Taxation without representation is Tyranny". Otis was a strong opponent of the writs of assistance which allowed the British to enter any colonist's home without cause. Otis also wrote several children's books about colonial times. Richard of Jamestown a Story of the Virginia Colony was written with the purpose of telling children about life in colonial Jamestown. The story is told from the viewpoint of a child. This is not a history lesson, but a story filled with information about an important time in our country's history. It is hoped that such stories will spark an interest in history for it's young readers.
