Jamestown’s Quadricentennial
In 2007 the entire world will celebrate the quadricentennial of the first English settlement in the New World, at Jamestown. A good 13 years before the Mayflower, I hasten to add. My family are descended from John Rolfe, the man who first planted tobacco in Virginia. These Yankee-come-latelies ever brag of their vaunted ancestry—hah! We were here while they were still gadding about the Netherlands.
