Very well written! I happen to be in the middle of the book 1493 about Europeans coming to America and the global impact it had. Amazing. We fought hard to establish a toe hold in this country. Year after year thousands of Europeans were sent to Jamestown Virginia and surrounding areas and year after year almost 8 in 10 died within the first year. Starvation, malaria, Indians, etc.

The book "1493"? Great read.
Takes another look at the impact of Columbus.

Heres to the people that had the balls to rebel. Most people sat back and watched. It because of a few that we have the country we have today.
