		Byrd makes the stereotypical distinction between the industriousness of Indian women and the laziness of Indian men, thereby privileging the women within the value system that prevails in the first halves of the Histories.
		Byrd asked the Indian hunter Ned Bearskin the secret for the fertility of native women, and learned that Indian men had an infallible potency formula: a strict diet of bear meat.

		In that year, due to his father's role in Bacon's Rebellion young William Byrd was sent to England to be educated at the prestigious Felsted School, with which his mother's family was loosely associated.
		Furthermore, the entries from the early years were written when Byrd was still acclimating to the colonies, where he had lived as a young boy and spent bouts of time, but had never really inhabited in adulthood.

	Byrdtext
		William Byrd, one of the most influential Virginians of colonial times, was born on a Tidewater plantation but received most of his education in England.
		Though most of Virginia's landed aristocracy was beginning to progress away from their English roots during the early eighteenth century, William Byrd II provided a connection between the well-developed English society and growing Virginian society through his unchanging routine and pursuit of enjoyment.
		Byrd's attitude towards Native Americans is useful because it illustrates the beliefs of the new high-class, pseudo-royalty that was developing in America.

	Ausband, Stephen Conrad. Byrd’s Line: A Natural History.
		Byrd’s Line: A Natural History by Stephen Conrad Ausband is a welcome addition to the literature about the dividing line between Virginia and North Carolina.
		Byrd’s official account of his experiences and the people involved in the survey is entitled The History of the Dividing Line betwixt Virginia and North Carolina, Run in the Year of Our Lord 1728.
		Ausband’s Byrd’s Line was not written for the scientist, but rather for the “Common Reader.” The reader interested in the natural history of the dividing line should indeed acquire this book.

		William Byrd will come as a delightful surprise to students who come to colonial literature with an expectation of unrelieved Puritanism.
		Yet Byrd clearly glories in his own truly biblical mastership over bondmen and his moderate appreciation of alcohol, and he boasts of his own sexual potency under the guise of blaming American women for breeding like rabbits.
		Byrd's confrontation with the bear, at least in his imagination, is the last of a whole series of events in both letters and histories in which British civilization is forced to confront American nature.
