While in London in 1705 Robert Beverley wrote and published The History and Present State of Virginia one of the earliest printed English-language histories about North America by an author born there. Beverley was a scion of Virginia's planter elite at odds with royal governors in the colony. As a native-born American—most famously claiming "I am an Indian"—he provided English readers with the first thoroughgoing account of the province's past natural history Indians and current politics and society. Sabin calls Beverley the "best authority" affording the "most vivid comprehensive instructive and entertaining picture of Virginia at the date of his writing." N. B.
