 In Trip News 52: Say Hello To My Little Friend. I talked about my enjoyable visit with Peggy and Mark Buckley in Williamsburg, VA. So now I want to focus more on the two historic locations Peggy was kind enough to show me. Jamestowne was the first successful English colony in North America. It's most famous resident was the legendary Pocahontas, who married Captain John Smith. While the Disney movie paints a romantic picture of their lives together, survival in Jamestowne was anything but pleasant. It is by luck and fortitude that they lived long enough to become heroes of early America. Colonial Williamsburg is the world's largest living history museum. It is designed to take you back to the dawn of America where the ideas - and the ideals - of America were born. And as one great site explains it, you can..."Step back in time and meet the people who made America—sing with them, dance with them, eat with them, and have fun with them. For every person who wants to understand this country, this is your place." Cover Contents Books Home Hire Stories               Comments are closed.
