Jamestown

Just published in January, JAMESTOWN 2007 is the "last word" on historic and exciting events happening all over Virgina - commemorating the 400th anniversary of the founding of modern America in 1607. Written by three past presidents of the Society of American Travel Writers and illustrated with full page photographs by an internationally-known team of photojournalists, this book vividly describes the new archeology museum at Historic Jamestown (where you will see the recreated face of a 17th century settler), America's Glory Gallery at Jamestown Settlement with 17th century life size restorations of a London street scene and an African village, the new Griffon - world's tallest dive coaster at Busch Gardens, the battle of Merrimack and Monitor at the Mariner's Museum - and much, much more. This book is more than a travel guide; it's a lasting pictorial keepsake of the commemoration of America's 400 year-old history that began on a marshy island on the James River in Virginia.
