Early Virginia Colonists

History professors Karen Kupperman of New York University, Crandall Shifflett of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech), and Jim Whittenburg of the College of William and Mary discuss who the early Virginia settlers were, what they expected to find in the New World, and what happened to them after they arrived. This audio clip is an excerpt from an interview that originally aired during the week of September 30, 2006, on With Good Reason, a radio program produced by the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities and hosted by Sarah McConnell.
