Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Virginia First The name First given to the territory occupied by the present United States was Virginia. It was bestowed upon the Country by Elizabeth, greatest of English queens. The United States of America are mere words of description. They are not a name. The rightful and historic name of this great Republic is "Virginia." We must get back to it, if the Country's name is to have any real significance. II. Virginia was the First colony of Great Britain, and her successful settlement furnished the inspiration to English colonization everywhere. For it was the wise Lord Bacon who said that, "As in the arts and sciences the 'first invention' is of more consequence than all the improvements afterwards, so in kingdoms or plantations, the first foundation or plantation is of more dignity than all that followeth." III. On May 13, 1607, the pioneers brought over by the Sarah Constant, the Good Speed, and the Discovery arrived at Jamestown on James River, and Founded the Republic of the United States based on English conceptions of Justice and Liberty.

Download or read book Gloucester written by Sally Nelson Robins and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Gloucester: One of the First Chapters of the Commonwealth of Virginia When one attempts the early history of a colonial county he is overcome by a feeling of helplessness. A few early records, a legend or two, stand like silent watchtowers, around which he must weave his own suppositions, the hearsays of his childhood, and a warrantable induction from existing facts. This sketch applies to Gloucester and its dear people, who from one border line to the other are my brethren. To them all without exception - to the road-side farmer who hoes his stumpy corn-field; to the jolly fisherman, whose conch-shell trumpet heralds fish along the high-way; to the judge upon his bench and the parson in his pulpit, and to Gloucester's sons and daughters scattered far and near - I dedicate this sketch. Chesapeake bay, in boisterous friendliness, knocks at Gloucester's south-eastern door; the capricious "Mock lack" hugs its eastern border, sending inland the landlocked North, the broad-sweeping Ware, and the beautiful Severn; while the York, but a lesser bay, born of the hesapeake, washes it south-westerly, cutting it apart com York county and James City. In the year 1631 the vast territory of Virginia is divided into eight shires; one of these shires is Pamaunee. Out of this Pamaunkeeshire Gloucester was carved.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Virginia Dare On the eastern shore of North Carolina, in the shallow sounds enclosed by long sand banks, which bound the coast, lies a little island twelve miles long and three miles broad. This is Roanoke - the scene of the first English settle ment in this country, and the birth-place of Virginia Dare, the first English child born in America. How much of romance, and yet more of history a xc mance of the real - clusters around the sad story of this young girl! Out of the unfortunate expeditions, of which she, in some sense, may be said to have been the first fruits, grew the schemes of colonization at Jamestown and at Ply mouth a score of years later. The seed were sown at Roanoke, were fertilized by the sacrifice of the settlers there, but took enduring root first at Jamestown.
