Virginia DeJohn Anderson sa zameriava na históriu rannej Ameriky a skúma, ako sa formovala spoločnosť a kultúra v 17. storočí. Jej dielo sa sústreďuje na migráciu, interakciu medzi ľuďmi a prírodou a vplyv zvierat na formovanie americkej spoločnosti. Anderson ponúka prenikavý pohľad na to, ako každodenný život a vzťahy s okolitým svetom formovali ranú americkú identitu. Jej historická analýza osvetľuje zložitosť rannej americkej histórie a jej trvalý dopad na súčasnosť.
