Readers of last year’s Newsletter will recall that Peter Green House was on the move, relocating a few hundred feet to the corner of Angell and Brown. That move has now been completed and we have settled back in our offices, a bit weary for the move, but grateful that we now have six new offices on the ground floor and a better view of campus. And now we can boast that we inhabit an award winning building, as acknowledged by the Providence Preservation Society. The additional space is especially appreciated because we have new faculty. Jorge Flores earned his degree in the History of the Portuguese Discoveries and Expansion from the New University of Lisbon and has taught at the University of Macau. He is associate professor of Portuguese and Brazilian Studies and History, and specializes in the Portuguese expansion in Asia. Françoise N. Hamlin did her graduate training at Yale and taught at the University of Massachusetts before coming here as assistant professor of Africana Studies and History. Professor Hamlin studies the history of the civil rights movement in the United States, with an emphasis on understanding the role of gender. Finally, Tracy Steffes arrived at Brown from the University of Chicago, where she recently completed her dissertation, “A New Education for a Modern Age: National Reform, State-building, and the Transformation of American Schooling, 1890-1933.” Her teaching record includes courses at the University of Chicago, Denison University, and at Indiana University-Northwest.

    Jamestown Timeline

    A Jamestown Timeline Christopher Columbus never reached the shores of the North American Continent, but European explorers learned three things from him: there was someplace to go, there was a way to get there, and most importantly, there was a way to get back. Thus began the European exploration of what they referred to as the “New World”. The following timeline details important events in the establishment of the first permanent English settlement in America – Jamestown, Virginia. Preliminary Events 1570s Spanish Jesuits set up an Indian mission on the York River in Virginia. They were killed by the Indians, and the mission was abandoned. Wahunsonacock (Chief Powhatan) inherited a chiefdom of six tribes on the upper James and middle York Rivers. By 1607, he had conquered about 25 other tribes. 1585-1590 Three separate voyages sent English settlers to Roanoke, Virginia (now North Carolina). On the last voyage, John White could not locate the “lost” settlers. 1602 Captain Bartholomew Gosnold explored New England, naming some areas near and including Martha’s Vineyard. 1603 Queen Elizabeth I died; James VI of Scotland became James I of England. Early Settlement Years 1606, April James I of England granted a charter to the Virginia Company to establish colonies in Virginia. The charter named two branches of the Company, the Virginia Company of London and the Virginia Company of Plymouth. 1606, December 20 Three ships – Susan Constant, Godspeed, and Discovery - left London with 105 men and boys to establish a colony in Virginia between 34 and 41 degrees latitude. 1607, April 26 The three ships sighted the land of Virginia, landed at Cape Henry (present day Virginia Beach) and were attacked by Indians.
