Jamestown, Ya, tbe place cf the
exposition, was the first Englishspeaking
settlement in America. It
might be called the parent of the
colonies. From this first village
others grew until there was a real
colony of Virginia instead of a nominal
one. Tbe Alleghanies was dotted
with villages and filled with colonies
which grew to such proportions that,
combined, they were able to overthrow
the domination of England in
