Pocahontas & the Virginian Venture
6/22/202658 min
How did the Stuarts turn fragile American outposts into an empire? How did English settlers, Native peoples - including Pocahontas - and London investors shape 17th-century Virginia, and why do these early colonial encounters still matter as the 250th anniversary of American independence approaches?
Professor Suzannah Lipscomb is joined again by Distinguished Professor Peter C. Mancall to discuss Stuart America, the Virginia Company and the founding of Jamestown.
