It must be well known to my young readers, that the first permanent English settlement made within the limits of the present United States was at Jamestown, in Virginia. This was in 1607, thirteen years previous to the landing of the Puritans at Plymouth, of which I have told them already. But prior, also, to the Jamestown settlement, others, though not permanent ones, had taken place along the coast.
