Expansion · About 1600 to 1820
The colonies and the founding of the United States, through the eyes of ordinary families. It is where families whose American roots are older than the 1820s begin.
Jamestown in 1607 and the ports of the Atlantic coast, the first farms and towns, and the families who came by choice and by force: the arrival of enslaved Africans at Point Comfort in 1619 and the system that followed, told with the same care as the rest of the series.
Down the Great Wagon Road from Philadelphia into the Shenandoah Valley and the Carolina backcountry from the 1740s, through the Cumberland Gap on the Wilderness Road from 1775, and along the Natchez Trace.
The Revolution as families lived it: who went, who stayed, what it cost, and the letters that crossed the lines.
The first census in 1790, which names only the head of each household, and the early republic up to the 1820s, where Many Roads begins.
The Native nations of the East as people with their own lives, towns and diplomacy, and the treaties and losses of land the record shows.
The grandparents your Many Roads family remembers become playable, and the stories they told can turn out true, exaggerated or wrong.
The road ahead
In development. Expansions are planned and not yet dated; titles other than Wild and Origins are working titles.
