Introduction to Virginia - The United States of America __ "Virginia is a state
steeped in history. Before the arrival of the Europeans, Chief Powhatan ruled
over the untamed land. Chief Powhatan fathered one of Virginia's more famous
historical figures, Pocahontas. The first permanent English settlement in
America, at Jamestown in 1607, set the stage for the taming of the wilderness."
