"Why Would the Indian People Build Their Town There?"

Dr. Helen Rountree, "Why Would the Indian People Build Their Town There?"

The famous Capt. John Smith map is busy with Indian settlements, some of which were mere camps that he saw inhabited because it was the summertime before the harvest, i.e., occupied only seasonally.
