Many people are familiar with Powhatan, the Paramount Chief who ruled over a vast network of more than 30 tribes in the Chesapeake region when the English arrived in 1607. But it was Powhatan's brother, Opechancanough, who came closest to wiping out the English colony at Jamestown. Today, Lindsay is joined by Dr. James Horn, President of the Jamestown Rediscovery Foundation. He's the author of A Brave and Cunning Prince: The Great Chief Opechancanough and the War for America.Order your copy of the new American History Tellers book, The Hidden History of the White House, for behind-the-scenes stories of some of the most dramatic events in American history—set right inside the house where it happened.Listen to American History Tellers on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.

Dr. James Horn is President and Chief Officer of Jamestown Rediscovery (Preservation Virginia) at Historic Jamestowne.  Previously, he has served as Vice President of Research and Historical Interpretation at the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, Saunders Director of the International Center for Jefferson Studies at Monticello, and taught for twenty years at the University of Brighton, England.  He has been a Fulbright Scholar and held fellowships at the Johns Hopkins University, the College of William and Mary, and Harvard University.  He is a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society.  A leading scholar of early Virginia and English America, Dr. Horn is the author and editor of numerous books and articles including three that we have leaned on extensively in this podcast, A Land As God Made It: Jamestown and the Birth of America; 1619: Jamestown and the Forging of American Democracy; and most recently A Brave and Cunning Prince: The Great Chief Opechancanough and the War for America. (I'll get a little tip if you buy them through the links above.) Our conversation focuses on the extraordinary life of Opechancanough, the fascinating man who twice led the Powhatan Confederacy in wars to expel English settlers from the James River and the Chesapeake.  As longstanding and attentive listeners know, Opechancanough may or may not have been the same man as Paquiquineo, taken by the Spanish in the Chesapeake in 1561, received in the court of Philip II, christened Don Luis de Velasco in Mexico City, and returned to his homeland in 1570. Jim persuades me that Opechancanough was, in fact, the same man.  Along the way I learn, a bit too late, how to pronounce various names properly.

On April 10th, 1606, King James I granted the Virginia Company of London a charter. Just over a year later, on May 14, 1607, this privately-funded, joint-stock company established the first, permanent English colony in North America at Jamestown, in the colony of Virginia.  What work did the Virginia Company have to do to establish this colony? How much money did it have to raise, and from whom did it raise this money, to support its colonial venture? Misha Ewen, a Lecturer in early modern history at the University of Bristol and author of The Virginia Venture: American Colonization and English Society, 1580-1660, joins us to discuss the early history of the Virginia Company and its early investors.

On April 20, 2022, historian James Horn delivered the 2022 Stuart G. Christian, Jr. Lecture about his book, A Brave and Cunning Prince: The Great Chief Opechancanough and the War for America. In 1561, an Indian youth was abducted from Virginia by Spanish explorers and taken to Spain. Called by the Spanish Paquiquineo and subsequently Don Luís, he was introduced to King Philip II in Madrid, as well as to influential Catholic prelates and courtiers, before being sent back to America to help with the conversion of Indian peoples. In Mexico City, he converted to Catholicism and after many years was eventually able to secure his return to his homeland on the York River as a guide to a small group of Jesuits. There, he quickly organized a war party to destroy the mission and everyone associated with it. During the remainder of the sixteenth century, he and his brother, Powhatan, built a massive chiefdom that stretched from the James River to the Potomac, and from the coast to the piedmont. When the English arrived in Virginia in 1607, he and his brother chief launched a series of attacks on the settlers in an attempt to drive them out. These wars, the first Anglo-Indian wars in North America, spanned the greater part of the next four decades. Known by the English as Opechancanough, he was ultimately unsuccessful but would come closer than any of his peers in early America to succeeding. He survived to be nearly 100 years old and died, as he lived, fighting European colonists. James Horn is the president of the Jamestown Rediscovery Foundation at Historic Jamestowne, the original site of the first permanent English settlement in America. He is author and editor of eight books on early America, including 1619: Jamestown and the Forging of American Democracy and A Land as God Made It: Jamestown and the Birth of America. His most recent book, A Brave and Cunning Prince: The Great Chief Opechancanough and the War for America, was published last November.

We are back for another great interview in our Entelechy Series   In today's episode, we will focus on non-profit organizations. Our guest is Matthew Zachary. Matt is the founder and strategic advisor of a nonprofit called Stupid Cancer, and he's a maverick, a cancer survivor himself, and a cancer advocate. He has a media company also called https://offscrip.com/ (Offscrip Media). In his early twenties, Matt was a  musician, concert pianist, going to film school to write for Hollywood. His dream was to be the next James Horn, John Williams. However, in the prime of his youth, he was diagnosed with Brain Cancer.  He lost the ability to play because the initial symptoms were his left hand up stopped working. When he was diagnosed. He had all sorts of issues that aren't relatable today but had acute side effects, he was put on a comorbidities liquid diet, he lost his hair, lost his fertility, lost 110 pounds, lost his friends, his career because he couldn't play piano anymore and completely lost his identity.  However, since the age of 12, he had always been a nerd, hacking into UNIX and just interested in computers generally. So that became his plan B. He ended up working in consumer advertising, where he learned about branding, brand planning, brand strategy. A couple of years after having survived brain cancer, he met an old college mate Craig Lustig who had also been diagnosed with cancer and survived and was now working on the board of directors of the National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship, an influential legacy policy group. Matt credits Craig for changing his life's trajectory because soon after meeting, Matt started Stupid cancer. A cancer advocacy organization  United everyone under one umbrella. , in his bedroom,  Fast forward 10 years into a successful Stupid Cancer, fate came knocking at his door. His mentor Selma shamal was offered the opportunity to host an online talk radio show on cancer, she gave the opportunity to Matt. The stupid cancer show became  his flagship media juggernaut, After 13 years and four and a half million people listening to it,  As a result of the show,  Time magazine, recognized them a top 50 website for 2007, which was seen by 40 million people.   Over the 25years of running an NGO, Matt believes that We have to have a nonprofit for trust , Leaders don't have to follow the same old playbook. They can write their own playbook and rebel a little bit. NGOs can follow Dan Pallota's business model of success covered in his books.   In summary, Stupid Cancer's largest impact is the thousands of people who say, a certain doctor may have cured them, but stupid cancer helped them get their life back together.      Company Website: https://stupidcancer.org/ (Stupid Cancer) Ofscrip health: https://offscrip.com/ (Offscrip Health) Dan Pallota Website:  https://www.danpallotta.com/#home-books (Dan Pallota) Dan Pallota TedX talk: https://www.ted.com/talks/dan_pallotta_the_way_we_think_about_charity_is_dead_wrong?language=en (The way we think about charity is dead wrong) Talk space: https://www.talkspace.com/ (Talk space) Better Help: https://www.betterhelp.com/ (Better Help) Copyright (c) 2020-2022 Kirstin Gooldy

James Horn is both a veteran of Philly's punk scene (his ex bands include the Tough Shits & The Whips) & legendary spot Tattooed Mom, where everybody knows your name... and probably your band.

At about 8 in the morning on March 22, 1622, warriors of the chiefdoms making up the Powhatan confederacy attacked the settlements of the colony of Virginia. By nightfall, the devastating attacks had killed between a quarter and a third of the English settlers, destroyed many settlements and farms—including their food supplies, and forced the survivors to take shelter in fortified locations where they were unable to grow their food because of groups of warriors who continued the attack. Suddenly, just when Virginia seemed to be on the verge of success, it was thrown back into the position where it had been 13 years before when it was just a few hundred people within the palisade surrounding the settlement of Jamestown—under attack, and on the verge of the starvation. It was the beginning of a brutal war that would last for years, the second fought between the native of Virginia and the English interlopers. With me to explain the long life of the man who planned the attack of 1622 is James Horn, President and Chief Officer of the Jamestown Rediscovery Foundation, which is affiliated with Preservation Virginia, a private non-profit organization and a leader in historic preservation. Horn is the author of numerous books, from Adapting to a New World: English Society in the Seventeenth Century Chesapeake, to his most recent A Brave and Cunning Prince: The Great Chief Opechancanough and the War for America. While this is conversation will be about one of the most critical moments in the history of North America, and about one of its most fascinating unknown personalities, it's also a conversation in our continuing series on historical thinking. As you'll see, James Horn's book deals with many questions of evidence. And evidence is the answer to the question “How do I know what I claim to know about my question?” As you'll hear, that is a question that James Horn had to ask himself many times as he worked on this book. For Further Investigation A Land as God Made It: Jamestown and the Birth of America  A Kingdom Strange: The Brief and Tragic History of the Lost Colony of Roanoke 1619: Jamestown and the Forging of American Democracy Opechancanough--his biography in the Encyclopedia Virginia Historic Jamestowne

James Horn is a native of England who now resides in Virginia and works in Williamsburg, which makes sense if you know his scholarship. He has a new book out, A Brave and Cunning Prince: The Great Chief Opechancanough and the War for America. His book examines the crucial early years of the English colonies, which involved starvation, warfare, disease, and even cannibalism. While Jamestown is the first permanent English colony in America, it came close to annihilation in the early 1600s. Opechancanough waged war against the English for decades, but he had a long relationship with European settlers. Born in the mid-16th century, his life spanned over 90s years. He was abducted and traveled to Mexico and Europe as a young man. He remained loyal to the native people of Virginia, however, and proved a fierce adversary of the English.  Colin also asks about Jim's upbringing in England, his early travels in America (involving a semester in Wisconsin and a memorable trip across country via Greyhound bus), and his eventual move to Richmond.

Experiencing Islam : Experiencing Islam is an insightful realpolitik text by a career Foreign Service Officer who has served in Moslem countries, worked as a Security Professional, and wore other hats during his 25-years of service abroad. His vision is 20-20.Prior to publication, the manuscript for Experiencing Islam was submitted to federal agencies for review. The text was censored (redacted) by the Central Intelligence Agency and the Department of State, with input from DHS, the FBI, and the White House. This censored version retains 99% of its integrity and character. Experiencing Islam explores the sneak attack committed by dedicated Moslems on 9/11/01 and their motivation; and frankly discusses the role of America's ineffectual national security system and its dereliction which led 9/11/01's occurrence. James E. Horn discusses failed CIA-FBI relationships and other interagency frictions detrimental to America's security; he explains why the Department of Homeland Security is designed to fail. Horn clearly does not suffer fools gladly, and expects those fools to be terribly offended by this piece of contemporary literature. He urges them to seek guidance before exposing themselves to these fundamentals expressed in this book. Horn delves into Islam where he is knowledgeable and experienced having lived and worked in Islamic environments for over a decade where he studied Islam and experienced Islam in practice. Horn offers up a number of fundamental truths which will give readers serious cause for concern. Horn is not an Islamophobe but affirms that he is Islam-aware and is thus Islam-averse. Naturally, the Moslem Brotherhood and their Surrogate, the Council on American-Islamic Relations have falsely claimed that Horn is a hate monger. Horn is a truth teller, and telling the truth about Islam offends the Islamists. While Horn offers no quarter to Islam, he is likewise unsympathetic and is even seriously critical of Christendom and other religions and civilizations who are failing their people, their citizens in dealing with the horrifically bigoted and rapacious ideology of Islam. Horn predicts that readers of Experiencing Islam will be better informed, educated, wiser, and thus better prepared when dealing with Islam, as all Americans must be well prepared when confronting madness. - www.jamesehorn.com

This week at In The Past Lane, the American History podcast, we take a close look at America’s early colonial origins. Most Americans tend to think of their nation as beginning in Massachusetts with the 1620 establishment of a colony at Plymouth by the Pilgrims. But this view overlooks Jamestown, Virginia which had been established 13 years earlier in 1607. Why? Because, apart from periodic wars with local Native Americans, Massachusetts thrived, while further south in Virginia the Jamestown colony suffered through several periods of starvation and near extinction. And then in 1619 – 400 years ago this year – Jamestown was the site of the arrival of the first shipload of enslaved Africans. Plymouth, MA came to be seen as the New World utopia in contrast to the Jamestown dystopia. But there’s a lot more to the Jamestown story that’s really important to know about when considering the origins of the United States and American democracy. To explain this overlooked chapter of US history, I speak with Joseph Kelly, the author of a new book,  Marooned: Jamestown, Shipwreck, and a New History of America’s Origin.

Tonight it is my pleasure to speak with Jim Horn. Jim is a retired diplomat and Counter-Terrorism expert, Jim experienced a decade of life and work in Islamic societies and knows Islam very well. He is a counter-jihad activist and author who frankly discusses Islam in his mission to educate Americans about the true nature of Islam and its determination to destroy our nation.

On October 17, 2018, James Horn delivered the J. Harvie Wilkinson, Jr. Lecture, “1619: Jamestown and the Forging of American Democracy.” Along the banks of the James River, Virginia, during an oppressively hot spell in the middle of summer 1619, two events occurred within a month of each other that would profoundly shape the course of history. In the newly built church at Jamestown, the General Assembly—the first gathering of a representative governing body in America—came together at the end of July. Several weeks later, a battered privateer entered the Chesapeake Bay carrying the first African slaves to land on mainland English America. In 1619, historian James Horn sheds new light on the year that gave birth to the great paradox of our nation: slavery in the midst of freedom. This portentous year marked both the origin of the most important political development in American history, the rise of democracy, and the emergence of what would in time become one of the nation's greatest challenges: the corrosive legacy of racial inequality that has afflicted America since its beginning. Dr. James Horn is President of the Jamestown Rediscovery Foundation (Preservation Virginia) at Historic Jamestowne.

When we think of Native Americans, many of us think of inland dwellers. People adept at navigating forests and rivers and the skilled hunters and horsemen who lived and hunted on the American Plains. But did you know that Native Americans were seafaring mariners too? Andrew Lipman, an Assistant Professor of History at Barnard College, Columbia University and author of The Saltwater Frontier: Indians and the Contest for the American Coast, leads us on an exploration of the northeastern coastline and of the Native American and European peoples who lived there during the seventeenth century.  This episode originally posted as Episode 104.

In 1705 a group of colonists in Simsbury, Connecticut founded a copper mine, which the Connecticut General Assembly purchased and turned into a prison in 1773. How did an old copper mine function as a prison? Morgan Bengel, a Museum Assistant at the Old New-Gate Prison and Copper Mine, a Connecticut State Historic Site, helps us investigate both the history of early American mining and the history of early American prisons by taking us on a tour of the Old New-Gate Prison and Copper Mine in East Granby, Connecticut.

We’re living in a period of climate change. Our Earth has been getting warmer since the mid-19th century. So how will humans adapt to and endure this period of global warming? Will they adapt to it and endure? It turns out the people of early America also lived through a period of climate change and their experiences may hold some answers for us. Sam White, an Associate Professor at The Ohio State University and author of A Cold Welcome: The Little Ice Age and Europe’s Encounter, joins us to explore the Little Ice Age and how it impacted initial European exploration and colonization of North America.

When we study the history of colonial North America, we tend to focus on European colonists and their rivalries with each other and with Native Americans. But humans weren’t the only living beings occupying North America during the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries. Rivalries existed between humans and animals too. And these human-animal rivalries impacted and shaped how European colonists used and settled North American lands. Andrea Smalley, an associate professor of history at Northern Illinois University and author of Wild By Nature: North American Animals Confront Colonization, joins us to explore the many ways wild animals shaped colonists’ ideas and behavior as they settled and interacted with North American lands.

The Spanish, French, and English played large roles in the origins of colonial America. But so too did the Dutch. During the 17th century, they had a “moment" in which they influenced European colonization and development of the Atlantic World. Wim Klooster, a Professor of History at Clark University and author of The Dutch Moment: War, Trade, and Settlement in the Seventeenth Century Atlantic World, guides us through Dutch contributions to the Atlantic World.

How do you build colonies without women? Most of the colonial adventurers from England and France who set out for Jamestown, New France, and colonial Louisiana were men. But how do you build and sustain societies and spread European culture—in essence, fulfill the promises of a colonial program—without women? You can’t. Which is why Marcia Zug, a Professor of Law at the University of South Carolina Law School and author of Buying a Bride: An Engaging History of Mail Order Matches, joins us to explore one of the solutions that England and France used to build their North American colonies: mail order bride programs.

Neither colonial North America nor the United States developed apart from the rest of the world. Since their founding, both the colonies and the United States have participated in the politics, economics, and cultures of the Atlantic World. And every so often, the politics, economics, and cultures of lands in the Pacific and Indian Oceans intersected with and influenced those of the Atlantic World. That’s why today, we’re going to explore the origins of the English trade with India and how that trade connected and intersected with the English North American colonies. Our guide for this investigation is Jonathan Eacott, an Associate Professor of History at the University of California, Riverside and author of Selling Empire: India in the Making of Britain and America, 1700-1830.

This week on In the Drink, Joe Campanale is joined by David Lombardo, Wine and Beverage Director for Benchmarc Restaurants and James Horn, Beverage Director at Landmarc Restuarant. While not classically trained as a Sommelier, Lombardo crafted his own wine education through tasting, reading and traveling to wine regions throughout Europe and the united states, and his knowledge of and enthusiasm for the wine experience is evident throughout the famous wine lists he oversees at Landmarc [Tribeca], Ditch Plains and Landmarc [at the Time Warner Center]. Lombardo also acts as an adjunct instructor in wine for the Institute of Culinary Education, and has also appeared on Kelly Choi’s Eat Out NY as a wine consultant. Credentials aside, it’s the attitude surrounding wine that makes Benchmarc Restaurants ‐‐ and Lombardo ‐‐ known for their approach to wine. This program was brought to you by Michter’s. “For me its great to pair a great steak with a great Bordeaux but because of flexibility with half bottles you can step ourside of your comfort zone.” [14:00] “We didn’t want to have a hotel restaurant – we wanted to have a restuarnat that happened to be in a hotel.” [20:00] –David Lombardo on In the Drink

On May 27, 2010, James Horn delivered the banner lecture "A Kingdom Strange: The Brief and Tragic History of the Lost Colony of Roanoke" In 1587, a small band of men, women, and children put down the first tentative roots of English settlement on the sandy soil of Roanoke Island along the North Carolina coast, in what was then considered part of Virginia. In the face of dwindling supplies and hostile Indians, the English leader, John White, left his family and friends and re-crossed the Atlantic in a desperate attempt to assemble ships to rescue the failing colony. However, the threat from the Spanish Armada delayed his return until 1590, and when he did, the colonists had completely disappeared. In his dramatic new account, master historian James Horn revisits the tragedy of this first, failed effort at English colonization in the New World. He offers new evidence about what happened to the Lost Colony and its people. The author of five books on early American history, James Horn is vice president of research and historical interpretation and director of the John D. Rockefeller Jr. Library at Colonial Williamsburg. This lecture was cosponsored with the Society of Colonial Wars in Virginia.
