Young Jason Ware's resourcefulness and courage, his determination to win out over any hardship were the qualities an early settler of Jamestown had to have.

When his father was unjustly imprisoned in England, Jason Ware decided to risk the journey to the New World by himself. With the Ware grant for Jamestown land sewn into his pocket, he stowed away on a ship bound for the newly settled colony. His survival from the hurricane and historical shipwreck at Bermuda, and his arrival with the battered colonists at Jamestown just as the first settlers were abandoning it make this episode in America’s past dramatically vivid.

What follows—Jason's life in the New World—makes an even more dramatic story. Inspired by history, Miss Robinson has carefully woven its facts into this tale of adventure, and has made Jason Ware a boy readers will find both likable and admirable.
