Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Primer American Literature I. The Beginning. - As soon as the English colonists landed on American shores, at Jamestown and Plymouth, they began to think of the establishment of schools of sound learning: in Virginia for the purpose of educating the Indians, and in Massachusetts Bay for the supply of church pastors. By 1619 the proposed Virginia university possessed, as gifts from English donors, fifteen thousand acres of land and fifteen hundred pounds in money, and its early establishment at Henrico, on the James River, was prevented only by a general Indian massacre on March 22, 1622, when three hundred and forty persons, including the superintendent of the university, lost their lives.
