...prophetic idea was to recruit religious outcasts--Englishmen who longed to put an ocean between them and the established Anglican Church. Some radical Protestants, known as Dissenters, had already fled to Holland. The Virginia Co. lured some Dissenters over and opened negotiations with others. One boatload of Pilgrims, blown north, landed in Plymouth, Mass., in 1620. Religious pluralism in British North America would suffer many backtracks and false starts (Virginia would develop its own Anglican establishment as time passed), but the first step was taken in Jamestown...
...staying clear of Jamestown for the next four years. The English, though, weren't finished with her. In the spring of 1613, when Pocahontas was nearing 18, she was kidnapped by a colonist-sailor. Her father paid most of the ransom--a gaggle of English prisoners, guns and a boatload of corn--but the white men kept the girl just upriver from Jamestown.

Don sells these things by the boatload to elementary schools, and the kids put the mouse back together again. This guy is making a living crawling through the woods looking for owl vomit...
...we’re looking mad handsome and cool, follow J-Zone’s advice and “Don’t holler.”)But it’s goodbye to the good times, too. Four years after a pair of red folders and a boatload of desperation first brought us together, we have run a marathon, seen Phil Collins in concert, and had full sex with three of the same girls (this last part is false). We’ve also never voted in a UC election, never been to an a cappella concert...
