Pages 34 & 35 - Jamestown and Virginia

The pictures

1.  Captain John Smith, an Englishman who became an important leader of the Jamestown settlement.
 
2.  A European man smoking tobacco in a pipe.  Tobacco proved to be the most profitable crop for early Virginia settlers.
 
3.  A man plowing a field.  Except for help from animal power, all work on a typical Colonial era farm was done by hand.
 
4.  The House of Burgesses in early Virginia.  Fire destroyed the elected body's meeting places several times.  The building that stands now in Williamsburg is a reconstruction.
