Jamestown Settlement

This is the location of the landing of settlers from England to establish the first permanent settlement in America.  This is also the place where Pocahontas hung with Capt. John Smith.  Little known fact about her, i suspect, is that when she died, they took a native born indian woman back to england to bury.  Still trying to figure that one out.  The entire area is one very large archaeological dig and the sheer amount of material they have taken from the ground there is astounding and has given modern day archaelogists the ability to re-create the colony pretty well.  We are off tomorrow to the Yorktown Battlefield.
