Join us for E58 about when the English and French powers that be decided the best way to tame the new world was by importing wives for the male settlers. We talk about the Jamestown Tobacco Brides and the NOLA King's Daughters aka The Casket Girls. Then stick around to the end for a Patreon preview.

Think I forgot to mention the PBS/UK series Jamestown. It was pretty good. Think it was filmed in Romania, but the location looks pretty spot on to the real Chesapeake Bay Area. Oh and give the YouTube channel Jamestown Rediscovery a follow, they're always coming through with new artifacts and such https://www.youtube.com/@JamestownRediscovery
