Redskins and Colonists

Redskins and Colonists relates the particulars of a period of Colonial times of absorbing interest to all. At the time of the opening of this tale the colony of Virginia was still struggling for existence. Time and again it had been reduced by the I ndians, until only a handful of the original settlers remained. Lord Delaware had added to the number, and then came others, until, in 1622, the colony took on a more prosperous look. Sir Francis Wyatt succeeded Yeardley as governor, and he instructed the planters to cultivate the good-will of the red men. Had that great I ndian, Powhatan, still been alive, the good-will of the red men might have been gained. But Powhatan was dead, and his place was occupied by Opechancanough, a crafty and cruel warrior, who lost no time in arranging a plan for the wholesale slaughter of the whites.
