Wonder how far away from the "Mother Vine" this is?

America was founded by somebody named Ralph?

Much is explained.

A spot that was a good location to build a fort in 1863 was probably a good location to build a fort in 1585.

Martin's Hundred, founded a few years after Jamestown, was built on top of a previous Huguenot (fur trading) post established sometime in the late 1500s.

Another Huguenot settlement from that period is somewhere around the Breton Bay region of Chesapeake Bay.

The earliest "census" of early Virginia and what became Maryland had an estimate of over 20,000 European people already resident on the Eastern Shore of the DelMarVa Peninsula ~ before Lord DeLaWare arrived to save Jamestown.

There was a lot of history around Chesapeake Bay and Albermarle Sound long before anyone got here to write it down.

Oh, yeah, almost forgot, down the road a few miles just outside the Mason Neck area there was an Indian village that manufactured pottery about the time John Smith sailed up to Rosslyn on the Potomac to get saved by Pocahontas. It had a population well in excess of 20,000 people. Early Virginia settlers knew all about the hospitality available in what seems to have been a remarkably civilized little burg.

Nice post. Something to take our minds off current affairs. We, sorry, some of us need to get back into the deep past. I have accessed VDARE.com. Lots of information on the "lost colony".

In my native England, the misguided are decrying many of the things that the English speaking peoples should be proud of. Teaching minorities to despise what we have been. Strangely enough, our friends who declared independence from us, are "digging up" some of our history. (laughs)
