Colonial things

The aim of ColonialAmerica.com is to provide a window into the people, history, culture and ideas of America from about 1585 to 1799 (yes, we go just a bit past what would technically be defined as the "colonial" era). Included during this time were such significant events as the settling of Roanoke, Jamestown, and Plymouth, the Salem witch trials, the French and Indian War, the American Revolution, and ratification of the Constitution. In pursuit of this aim, our initial goals will be to provide original content from the colonial era as well as highlight just released books and videos, reenactments and other events. Plus, we'll point you to the very best sites on the web relevant to the history of early America. At your option please feel free to share your email address below. This will provide us with the means to notify you when ColonialAmerica.com is live. From time to time we'll also let you know of new site features and other content.
