Summary
| Description |
English: But for the greater things which followed Captain [Christopher] Newport's arrival in September of the year 1608, I would have set it down as of the utmost important to us in Jamestown, that he brought with him the first two women, other than the girl Pocahontas, who had ever come into our town.
These were Mistress Forest [sic], and her maid, Anne Burras, and if the king himself had so far done us the honor as to come, his arrival would have caused no greater excitement. GAZING AT THE WOMEN Every man and boy in the settlement pressed forward eager even to touch the garments of these two women as they came ashore in the ship's small boat, and I dare venture to say that we stared at them, Nathanial and I among the number, even as the savages stared at us when we first landed. |
