Starting
with A Century Of
Exploration, we explore a hundred years filled with romantic voyages and thrilling tales of exploration
and conquest in the New World. From
there, we move on to the Settling of America, beginning with The Old Dominion the first English colony in Virginia, to
the New England
Settlements, which includes Massachusetts,
Rhode Island, and
Connecticut; and on to The Proprietary Colonies of
Maryland,
Carolina,
New York,
New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, and
Georgia.   

  

Ultimately, we wind up in the
midst of the American
Revolution, when colonists began to rebel over taxes and no
representation. We also include an American Revolution Timeline, Initial
Battles for Independence, and you can bet there will be more coming.

   

One, of course, can't forget some of the Heroes and Patriots of this era, so you will find Nathaniel
Bacon, the First American Rebel, John Paul
Jones, the Greatest Revolutionary Naval Commander, Nathanael Greene,
and Amercan Revolution Hero, and George Washington,
the

Father of our Country. This list, too, will grow over the next weeks
and months.

  

Though I don't anticipate that we will expand our
website as fully into the eastern states, you can also just bet, that I won't be
able to leave out some of the great historic sites and destinations that go
along with Early American History.
Stay tuned as I do some more digging.

   

Back on more familiar territory, see Ghost Towns In The
East.
When people hear the words "ghost town," they associate the
term with the old, abandoned towns of the Western frontier.
But, every state has ghost towns and eastern and mid-western States are no
exception. We also got a head's up from a reader on another ghost town, that comes along with a ghostly legend -- Alton, Texas
and Goatman's Bridge. More on that below.

   

For our
Treasure Hunting
Enthusiasts, check out Places to Search Around Old Home Sites. Treasures are out there, just
waiting to be found, and some of them may be closer to you than you think.
Older homes that date back one hundred years or more have a very good
chance of holding a treasure; and these old homes are
in cities and towns across America.

   

Always expanding our Native
American section, you'll find some new Indian Legends, including
Ta-Vwots Conquers the Sun,
a couple of Native American Legends of Arizona,
including:
Horned Toad and Giants, The Spider Tower,
Weird Sentinel at
Squaw Peak. Legends of Indian Territory provide Legends from Oklahoma,
including A Battle in the Air, The Comanche Rider, and the
Legend of the Cherokee
Rose.  

   

I
also developed a new line of products using our great vintage photos to develop a montage to recognize
these our Native
American Founding Fathers.
Here, you'll find
prints, t-shirts, calendars and more.

 

Speaking of which, if you haven't visited our
Exclusive Products
Store, where we partner with Cafe
Press, to bring you original designs you can't find anywhere else, check it
out. In addition to our newest design of Native
American Founding Fathers, you'll find dozens of other designs and
products for the Old
West, Route 66,
more Native American,
Bumper Stickers Galore,
and even Legends of
America stuff, if you're so inclined.

   

We've
also got a new
Native
American Video, which is a a short promotional piece which introduces our numerous Native
American pages. We've also established a new section for our new
Legends Videos, so
that you can easily find them. As I mentioned last month, while these first two
videos, and probably
the next few are short introductions, stay tuned, as we continue this
venture into longer productions that tell the story of numerous themes. Our
videos are uploaded to
youtube.com and you can become a regular subscriber by just visiting our
