An ancestor of mine, Edward Maria Wingfield, was the first President of Jamestown in 1607-1610. I would like to say he enjoyed great success but those years were known by violence, disease and starvation. The colony nearly did not make it but somehow hung on through conditions I could not imagine. Today’s youth have no concept of what that struggle looked like and instead paint those settlers as the bad guys. Sickens me.

Top shelf history lesson and how it ties into today. If more understood history like this less we would have to worry about. Can not stop thinking how close we are getting for a trigger into Bosnia in the 1990s.
