Who would have written a secondary source about the founding of Jamestown? A historian who wrote a book about politics in Jamestown during its founding period.

Let's remember that a primary source is a testimony directly written by people who lived and participated in the event. He or she could have a witness. It also can be a photograph. A secondary source can be a book written by a historian or an encyclopedia. If a historian writes a book about politics in Jamestown during its founding period, it had to research other sources like testimonies, newspapers of the colonial times or interviews from that period.
