    1. "Martin's Hundred" book by Ivor Noel Hume
    2. Bonnie Schwarz
    3. Hello all - I've had several e-mails inquiring about this book, so I thought I would post information to the list. Sorry I miss-stated the title a bit on my original post - "100" is spelled out "Hundred". The book is still available new from Amazon.com, and Amazon also shows 100-some copies available used from $1.25 on up. Hume and his wife have a few other books written on colonial Virginia archaeology, which are also found on the Amazon.com search. I believe the other book I mentioned, but could not name, was "The Virginia Adventure" which is about Roanoke and Jamestown colonies. He also has books about his archaeological digs in Britain. Rhonda, the ISBN on my hardcover first edition is ISBN: 0394507282. Didn't realize I had a first edition till now - too bad the book is not collectible! All of his books are pretty entertaining reading for us closet archaeologists! Not dry reading, and quite a lot of information on the life and times of the colonists, as we understand it. Amazon has "look inside the book" feature on "Martin's Hundred", so you can get a little preview. Enjoy! Bonnie
