You can also contact the APVA website that I linked to in the post. They also list early settlers and there fee is reasonable. The last site I would recommend in the state Library of Virginia in Richmond.<BR/><BR/>Phillip,<BR/>Thanks for stopping by.<BR/><BR/>Skeeter,<BR/>Our tour guide being a descendant of John Rolfe, was also a descendant of Pocahontas since they were married. Deer are always prettier when they are not eating from your garden.<BR/><BR/>PGL,<BR/>Yes we did have a good time. PBS had a show on last night about Queen Elizabeth and it had heavy footage from her visit to Virginia last summer. She was touring right where our scout troop did.<BR/><BR/>Tina,<BR/>Thanks for stopping by, and yes this place is full of history and it often goes to our heads.<BR/><BR/>Chuck,<BR/>These stories have only come to light recently. We had a much rosier version of history in elementary school. The Taxodium d. is an extremely versitile tree and one of my favorites. <BR/><BR/>LesLeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18281256160705697856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765612855992884633.post-25218783894574238522008-11-13T00:11:00.000-05:002008-11-13T00:11:00.000-05:00I also love the Pocahontas sculpture.

There is a beautiful Taxodium distichum at the entrance to Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. It's one of my favorite trees in the city, and it's in its full fall glory right now.chuck b.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00882763861745236443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765612855992884633.post-54614532279271534972008-11-12T21:01:00.000-05:002008-11-12T21:01:00.000-05:00I have just got to visit here when next I make it ...I have just got to visit here when next I make it to Virginia. It is so full of history and to think, I heard all about from you and Skeeter! I really like that tall tall statue.

Did you see where Garden girl and Frances found out they are both related through ancestry with Pocahontas? Real interesting stuff with the skeletons but a bit eerie too. The drive around the park was great and full of deer for us to admire. You would think they would not impress me with having a yard full at my house but the wild animals always get my attention...Skeeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08222522533934405029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765612855992884633.post-78542546322233833492008-11-11T09:28:00.000-05:002008-11-11T09:28:00.000-05:00Very interesting - thanks for the tour.

I've tried to attach my early 17th century ancestors to Jamestown but without success so far.James Goldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12718058779971621920noreply@blogger.com
