As I began writing about rivers I realized that I couldn't write about their natural environments without writing about their people. Humans are, after all, part of nature. Native Americans have lived along the eastern Atlantic shores for millennia; the English colonists who arrived in 1607 were recent additions. All have shaped the history and the habitat. In this reimagining, I have relied loosely upon Captain John Smith's The Generall Historie, available literature, and historical and informative markers at the locations visited. East for peace and wisdom, west for rain and thunder, north for the cleansing wind and south for the source and end of life. And how pelican lifts at First Landing.
