Before the Pilgrims
Pippa Pralen
An astounding history not learned in school. 40 years before the Jamestown colony, the Spanish founded a colony in Virginia. Early explorers and fisherman met Indians who spoke broken English. How was that possible? Irish monks living in caves in New England 900 AD? Viking sagas speaking of these Irish monks? In 1564 the French colony of Fort Caroline was founded in Florida. Colonies floundered and settlers vanished in lost colonies such as Roanoke. It wasn't easy surviving in this "new world" in spite of the early glowing reports. Why did Jamestown and Plymouth colonies succeed when others failed?The 2nd half of this book explores the first successful English colonies of Jamestown and Plymouth and why they succeeded when others could not. Strange and curious facts: the first Indian contact in Plymouth was an Indian asking for a glass of beer! Enjoy a detailed look of what really took place in America's beginnings. It's more interesting than your school history books!
