The history of Jamestown is a tale of endurance. The colony persevered through disease, starvation and numerous conflicts with the tribes of the Powhatan Confederation.

The earliest Virginians continued to build in the face of a mortality rate shocking for those times.

Confronted by a multitude of tribulations, the English colonists of Jamestown laid the first foundation stone of what would become the United States of America.
