''The Head of a Hundred in the Colony of Virginia, 1622'' is a historical novel written by Maud Wilder Goodwin and first published in 1900. The story is set in the early 17th century in Virginia, during a time when the English colonies were still struggling to establish themselves in the New World. The novel follows the life of a young woman named Margaret Brent, who is appointed as the head of her hundred (a political subdivision of the colony) after the death of her brother.Margaret is a strong, independent woman who is determined to succeed in the male-dominated world of colonial Virginia. She faces numerous challenges and obstacles as she tries to manage the affairs of her hundred, including dealing with the Native American tribes who live nearby, navigating the complex politics of the colony, and trying to maintain her own independence and autonomy.The novel is a vivid portrayal of life in colonial Virginia, with detailed descriptions of the landscape, the people, and the culture of the time. Goodwin’s writing is engaging and descriptive, and she brings to life a fascinating period of American history. ''The Head of a Hundred'' is a must-read for anyone interested in the early history of the United States, and for fans of historical fiction and strong female protagonists.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
