Brochure Sample
“What man who is poor
or who has only his
merit to advance his
fortunes can desire
more contentment
than to walk over and
plant the land he has
obtained by risking his
life?” John Smith
Jamestown was the first English settlement.
Investors funded explorers to find gold in the
colonies. Instead of gold, tobacco became
one of the main crops of the new world. The
colonists struggled at first since they were
new to farming as a way of survival. Life was
