Project Gutenberg 2008-09-16 Public domain in the USA. 313 Wharton, James The Bounty of the Chesapeake: Fishing in Colonial Virginia E-text prepared by Mark C. Orton and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team (https://www.pgdp.net) "The Bounty of the Chesapeake: Fishing in Colonial Virginia" by James Wharton is a historical account written in the mid-20th century. The work explores the evolution and significance of the fishing industry in Colonial Virginia, particularly in the Chesapeake Bay area, as depicted through colonial writings and firsthand accounts. It highlights the challenges and successes faced by early settlers as they navigated the natural resources of the region. The opening of the account sets the stage for the importance of fishing to the survival and development of the Virginia colony, providing an overview of the variety of fish and shellfish available in the Chesapeake Bay. It details early observations by colonists and Native Americans about fishing practices, the abundance of various species, and initial attempts to establish an organized industry. While optimistic about the bounty of the waters, the text also conveys the frustrations encountered by settlers in making consistent use of aquatic resources, underscoring the precarious balance between opportunity and reality in the early days of colonization.
