  2. First Africans arrive in Virginia

    In the history of the American people, many places are precious. But none reaches back so far -- or did so much to shape the nation's identity -- as the first permanent English settlement at Jamestown. Twelve years after the first colonists landed in 1607 -- and a year before the Pilgrims stepped ashore at Plymouth Rock -- this small, struggling enterprise on the banks of the James River witnessed an arrival that would underscore its historical significance still further. But no one in August 1619 understood the consequences of joining a few hundred white, European, mostly English settlers with what colony secretary John Rolfe famously described as "20. and odd negroes."

  4. New Jamestown exhibit explores colonist cannibalism

    Nobody knows exactly when a nameless 14-year-old English girl met her end during the deadly Starving Time at Jamestown — or when she was butchered by a desperate fellow colonist driven to unthinkable extremes by hunger.
