Subscribers to this list will probably be interested in a recent (1/16/06)
piece written by historian J. Frederick Fausz for the History News
Network. In his 5-page essay, Prof. Fausz summarizes some of the themes of
his forthcoming book on the 1622 assaults by Powhatan warriors on the
Virginia colonists. The title of the essay is certainly provocative (as is
the rest of it): "The First Act of Terrorism in English America." He gives
us much to ponder as 2007 approaches.
