[sallimayfield]

I just became an eighth-grade history teacher after teaching English for 21 years. I am so excited! I just discovered your videos, and they are MUCH better than our textbook. Thank you!

"The river is very close to the land." That's always good when that happens.

I love seeing this, I recently found out through my AncestryDNA research that my 12th great grandfather William Author Allen was one of the first tobacco merchants that settled near James town. The Allen house also known as Bacons castle still stands today as the oldest brick house in Surry county. I’ll need to watch more of your videos. Thanks for the content

Keith, you've inspired me to want to teach history, and now I'm headed to Lehigh university to get my degree in education. Thank you Keith for always being an inspiration!

You forgot to mention tobacco saving the Jamestown economy.

Parents used to live a few miles from there, it was interesting to tour because there’s a lot of original foundations still there in the ground and signs explaining them. A part of it is already under the James river but a majority isn’t. If you’re ever in the area you should tour, there’s a whole island to explore along with nearby Williamsburg

Great video, My 11th great grandfather Christopher Reynolds came to Jamestown in 1622 as an indentured servant. He later imported willing young women from his native England to serve as wives to the early Virginia colonists via The Speedwell. The profit from this journey enabled him to purchase land and he became a tobacco merchant.

Hello Mr. Hughes. I am a teacher and I love watching your videos; they are helpful and informative. I was wondering if you could do a video on the Keystone and Dakota Pipeline. It would be quite helpful for me. Thanks. Keep up the good work.

Loved watching this. My ancestor a great grandfather Nathaniel Basse landed in Jamestown in 1619. He was also a Captain Basse of a ship the Furtherance. His home was. Under construction when the Powhatan's attacked and burned it down and killed all the occupants. He was not there had made a trip back to London to bring back more settlers. His son. John Basse married Keziah the daughter of Robin the elder of ye nansiums kingdom. The Nansemond Indians were the largest group of descendants of the more Southerly Powhatan tribes. I just recently had my ancestory book of 562 pages passed down to me. So I find this history very interesting. Still reading and Discovering my roots on my great grandmother.

Thanks for this video, I’ve been working on a Jamestown thing, I’m not really sure what I’m going to do with it yet, and this video really helped me know what kind of information I missed. Thank you

Pace Porter (He saved Jamestown. He was friends with some Native Americans in a nearby tribe, and they warned him that their tribe was attacking, and he somehow saved Jamestown) is my great great great great great grandpa or something like that.

This is a great video-excellent teaching tool, and can be divided up into three shorter segments if time is an issue. It also contains a lot of information, so watching the video in segments may help students retain more of the history.
