En tant que fonctionnaire clé de la colonie de Virginie et auteur, Hamor a fourni l'un des premiers récits détaillés de la vie précoce en Amérique. Son œuvre, publiée en 1615, constitue une source essentielle pour la compréhension de la colonie. Elle détaille méticuleusement les premiers événements, y compris le mariage de Pocahontas et de John Rolfe, ainsi que les débuts de la culture du tabac. Par son écriture, Hamor a capturé le climat politique et social de l'époque, faisant de lui une figure importante pour l'étude de l'histoire coloniale.
