and 10 WHEREAS, the new settlers named the river James and the settlement Jamestown in honor of their SJ479 11 sovereign King James I, who chartered the Virginia Company of London in 1606 to establish a viable 12 and lucrative colony in America to increase British trade, compete with other European nations in 13 expansion abroad, search for a northwest passage to the Orient, and convert the Indians to the Anglican 14 religion; and 15 WHEREAS, led by Captain Christopher Newport, the Jamestown settlement was governed by a 16 council of seven men, with one member to be chosen to serve as president; and 17 WHEREAS, the Jamestown settlement was built 36 miles inland from the Chesapeake Bay and was 18 thought to be situated in an ideal location providing deep harbor, shelter from attack and easy defense, 19 as well as safety from the Spanish ships traveling the coast; and 20 WHEREAS, instead, due to unfavorable conditions and outbreaks of disease, few skilled farmers and 21 an insufficient labor force, and disputes with the Algonquian-speaking Indians that were ruled by the 22 powerful Chief Powhatan, the Jamestown settlers suffered terrible hardships and barely managed to 23 survive; and 7:3 24 WHEREAS, despite the odds against them, the citizens of the Jamestown settlement endured and the 25 first two English women arrived at Jamestown in 1608, and more came in later years, but men vastly 26 outnumbered women for most of the 17th century; and 3/22/10 27 WHEREAS, in 1608, Captain John Smith became the colony©s fourth council president, but by the 28 fall of 1609 he was injured and left for England, never to return to Virginia; but he promoted the 29 colonies of North America until his death in 1631, and his detailed writings on his experiences in 30 Jamestown illuminated the recorded history of the early settlers© determination to succeed in their new 31 life in America; and 32 WHEREAS, during the winter of 1609-1610, the Jamestown settlement underwent a particularly dark 33 period known as the "starving time" when there were many English deaths due to Indian hostilities, 34 starvation, or disease; and just when the settlers had abandoned all hope of continuing the colony, a ship 35 arrived from England with supplies; and 36 WHEREAS, only until the successful development of tobacco cultivation in 1613 by John Rolfe, 37 who would later marry Powhatan©s daughter Pocahontas, would Jamestown have a profitable cash crop 38 to sustain and stimulate growth in the Virginia colony; and 39 WHEREAS, the first documented Africans in Virginia arrived in 1619 from the kingdom of Ndongo 40 in Angola, where they had been captured during war with the Portuguese, and while believed to be 41 treated as indentured servants in the early colonies, the practice of owning Africans as slaves for life 42 would appear by mid-century; and 43 WHEREAS, the first representative body in the English New World, the General Assembly, 44 convened on July 30, 1619, in the Jamestown church in response to orders from the Virginia Company 45 "to establish one equal and uniform government over all Virginia" which would provide "just laws for 46 the happy guiding and governing of the people there inhabiting"; and SJ479 2 of 2 47 WHEREAS, when the Virginia Company was dissolved in 1624, Virginia became a royal colony and 48 Jamestown continued as the center of political and social life until 1699 when the seat of government 49 was moved to Williamsburg; and 50 WHEREAS, the dreams, language, customs, government, culture, and beliefs that sprang from these 51 early English settlers, molded by way of their arduous experiences and sacrifices at the Jamestown 52 settlement, were quintessential to the founding of many of America©s most cherished ideals, such as 53 freedom of religion, representative government, free speech, cultural diversity, and free enterprise; and 54 WHEREAS, during its anniversary year in 2007, communities and organizations across the 55 Commonwealth will develop unique programs commemorating their heritage, and Historic Jamestowne 56 and Jamestown Settlement will offer all new permanent exhibits, premiere introductory films, and 57 living-history areas portraying the dramatic story of 17th-century Virginia and its Powhatan Indian, 58 English, and western central African cultural origins, drawing on a wealth of historical information that 59 has been revealed by archaeological and documentary research of the past decade; and 60 WHEREAS, many dedicated leaders and volunteers from across the Commonwealth have come 61 together during the last decade to plan a commemoration of international significance and local, state, 62 federal, and international entities have worked tirelessly to coordinate programming and events; and 63 WHEREAS, the 400th anniversary of Jamestown in 2007 is a historic opportunity for the citizens of 64 the Commonwealth and visitors from far and wide to come to the Jamestown sites on the banks of 65 Virginia©s James River and experience firsthand its many contributions to the rich and diverse culture of 66 America; now, therefore, be it 67 RESOLVED by the Senate, the House of Delegates concurring, That the settlement of Jamestown be 68 commemorated on the occasion of its 400th anniversary; and, be it 69 RESOLVED FURTHER, That the Clerk of the Senate transmit a copy of this resolution to the 70 generous and enthusiastic sponsors of the 400th anniversary of Jamestown in 2007, requesting that they 71 further disseminate copies of this resolution to their respective constituents so that they may be apprised 72 of the sense of the General Assembly of Virginia in this matter; and, be it 73 RESOLVED FINALLY, That the General Assembly encourage Virginians to support and 74 commemorate the 400th anniversary of Jamestown in 2007 by participating in the numerous new 75 exhibits, programs, and festive activities in communities across the Commonwealth that will increase 76 awareness, knowledge, and enjoyment of the history of the Jamestown settlement in Virginia and its 77 preeminent role in the origin of our nation for generations to come..

  • The History of the Jamestown Colony: Seventeenth-Century and Modern Interpretations
    The History of the Jamestown Colony: Seventeenth-Century and Modern Interpretations A Senior Honors Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for graduation with research distinction in History in the undergraduate colleges of the Ohio State University By Sarah McBee The Ohio State University at Mansfield June 2009 Project Advisor: Professor Heather Tanner, Department of History Introduction Reevaluating Jamestown On an unexceptional day in December about four hundred years ago, three small ships embarked from an English dock and began the long and treacherous voyage across the Atlantic. The passengers on board envisioned their goals – wealth and discovery, glory and destiny. The promise of a new life hung tantalizingly ahead of them. When they arrived in their new world in May of the next year, they did not know that they were to begin the journey of a nation that would eventually become the United States of America. This summary sounds almost ridiculously idealistic – dream-driven achievers setting out to start over and build for themselves a better world. To the average American citizen, this story appears to be the classic description of the Pilgrims coming to the new world in 1620 seeking religious freedom. But what would the same average American citizen say to the fact that this deceptively idealistic story actually took place almost fourteen years earlier at Jamestown, Virginia? The unfortunate truth is that most people do not know the story of the Jamestown colony, established in 1607.1 Even when people have heard of Jamestown, often it is with a negative connotation. Common knowledge marginally recognizes Jamestown as the colony that predates the Separatists in New England by more than a dozen years, and as the first permanent English settlement in America.

This settlement was the first English stronghold in North America and planted the seeds for what would become the United States of America, a country whose culture, government, and religion stem from an English settlement and way of life. The interactions of these first settlers with the native people also set a standard for how these groups of people would be treated later on. In addition, the study of Jamestown can be implemented into just about every level of social studies. For example, Kindergarten students can study the importance of Pocahontas to the early settlers, the terms near and far as related to the start and finish of the voyage to Jamestown, and the use of inquiry to find out the truth in Disneyʼs movie on this topic. (See Appendix A) Key Ideas and Events The story of Jamestown begins with the granting of a charter by King James I to the Virginia Company of London in order to establish a settlement in North America.

  • The Story of Pocahontas and John Smith As a Symbolic American
    UNIVERSIDAD DE CUENCA SUMMARY “The Story of Pocahontas and John Smith as a Symbolic American Folktale,” is a work that shows how Pocahontas became, through the years, an emblematic part of The United States culture. She has been known for years as a simple myth thanks to Hollywood, but we have tried to make her stand out as the key in the birth of a new and powerful nation: The United States of America. This work was not only focused on Pocahontas, but also on the early attempts to found colonies in The New World by the British. During the sixteenth century, the British made attempts to settle Virginia, which was finally unsuccessful. Another topic developed was about Jamestown, its beginning, its location, its difficulties, and its progress due to tobacco cultivation and commercialization. However, during the first years, the colony went through many crises and would not have survived if it would not have been for the assistance of Pocahontas, her people, and her friend Captain John Smith. We dedicated a chapter to John Smith, his life, his works, and his adventures in Europe, Asia, Africa, and America. He was one of the first American heroes and the first British writer in The New World. Moreover, he was not only an excellent explorer and soldier, but he was also a writer and a cartographer. Finally, Pocahontas had to be considered and remembered for establishing peaceful relations between two new cultures. Additionally, she had been represented as a romantic figure in American history. KEYWORDS: Pocahontas, John Smith, Powhatan, American Indian, United States of America, England.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a . definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

PRINCESS ROYAL PRINCESS ROYAL I Misfortunes which had pierced the neighboring tribes Had not descended on the Potomac's banks. The white men who had visited had gone Away, and left but wonder in their stead— For much fine furs, had given marvellously Of needles, cloth, of pewter spoons, of bits Of iron, and that strange gaud, a looking glass. So, thus the visits of white men for trade Were more exciting than mere calls from distant Indian tribes. Wherefore, one afternoon Of festal week, a shout of joy went up When, from a hill, was viewed a winged canoe Approaching. All crowded to the sandy shore. On board his ship of full an hundred tons, One Captain Argall viewed such crowds of braves With some concern. What was this gathering? Meant peace or war? But soon he saw the joy Upon the faces; as well, the fine adornment, All speaking of a merry, festive time. 3 PRINCESS ROYAL He ordered anchor dropped, the boats unloosed, But, ere their manning, canoes came darting from The shore. Then Argall scanned the nearest brave. "Ah, ha!" he cried, "my old friend, Japizaws." " 'Tis Captain Argall. Once before he came. Hail, Captain Argall!" "Hail, friend Japizaws!" "The week of games is just about an end. My braves would have departed ere the sun Rose on the morrow.
