...104 male settlers arrived at a site they named James Cittie and established the first permanent English settlement in the New World.To celebrate, I share with you an old 1939 RTD Fred Seibel editorial cartoon I find particularly amusing, especially around Thanksgiving-time when the media focus tends to be on the Pilgrims and Plymouth Rock:
I love this: "... North Virginia, (now called Massachusetts)..."
Happy birthday, Jamestown, Virginia.
Next year's celebration should be a doozy!

North Virginia! hahahah...
I am just glad it was not me. Hunger, pestilence, disease, a very poor survival rate. Not good.
How about that - the mother colony's birthday is on Mother's Day.
Hope you had a good weekend.
