The Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail
The Captain John
Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail was established by Congress
just before the 400th Anniversary
of the First Permanent English Settlement in America at Jamestowne.
The Trail commemorates and retraces the journey of Smith and his
companions who left Jamestowne in small boats
to travel almost 3,000 miles along the shores of the Chesapeake and its
tributaries.
Their travels brought them into contact with Native Americans, and
helped them understand better
this new land they had chosen to be their home.
Smith's 1612 map is amazingly accurate; his assessment that "heaven and
earth never agreed
to form a more perfect place for man's habitation" was based on his
findings on these early journeys.
The John Smith National Historic Trail helps visitors learn about
Native American history, early English settlement,
and the bounty of the Bay's resources. Resources aiding in
interpretation include an innovative interpretive buoy system.
Visit the
National Park Service's site on the Trail, Baygateway's "Captain
John Smith's Chesapeake Voyages,"
and
The Conservation Fund sites for more details on the Trail and its
history, and the Conservation Fund itself..
