Miscellaneous
This week, we focus on the growth of Jamestown: how it happened, who it impacted and what kind of culture it created in the Tidewater region. Again, when we talk about Jamestown, we are referencing the tiny town on a marshy land in eastern Virginia. When I reference the Tidewater region of what becomes the United States, I am talking about the Atlantic coast of Virginia, North Carolina, Maryland and the Chesapeake Bay that, over time, developed its distinct culture as a result of its geography, economy and founding.
