"Heaven and earth never agreed better to frame a place for man's hanitation." (John Smith)
Captain Jhon Smith has a secure place in Ameican history as the leader whose firmness and courage saved the English colony in Virginia from disaster in 1608.
Less known are his exploits as explorer anda geographer. the map above, with Smilth's portrait in the corner, was aengraved in London from notes and observations he made in 1614 on exapedition to the region he named New England. Today the term embraces the six northeastern states of the Union. The pilgrims had a copy of this map aboard the Mayflower in 1620 when they landed at Plymouth (spelled "Plimouth" in the lower left corner). Smith's Cape James" is now Cape Cod.
