À propos de ce contenu audio
 Have you ever thought about the treasures we leave behind? This podcast invites you to explore the fascinating world of Jamestown, Virginia, which celebrated its 400th anniversary in 2007 as the first successful English settlement in America. While the colonists eventually relocated upriver to escape the harsh conditions of the small island, they left behind a wealth of artifacts‚Aîsome used, some worn, and some long forgotten. Just as you might underestimate the items that fill your life, the colonists‚A possessions tell a compelling story of survival and adaptation in a new world. Through the lens of archeology, we uncover the remnants of their lives, piecing together a narrative from the artifacts unearthed during three major excavation efforts (1903, the 1950s, and ongoing since 1994). Join us as we delve into the colonists resources, their everyday items, and the crafts they created, supported by historical documents from England and Virginia. Imagine packing for a life in the untamed wilderness‚Aîno shops, no regular supplies, and relying on a small community for survival. What would you take with you? This is the story of those early settlers. For an insightful history of Jamestown, visit http//www.tobacco.org/History/Jamestown.html.

    Art of Money Getting (version 2)-P. T. Barnum

    Art of Money Getting (version 2) by P. T. Barnum.

    Although Barnum considered himself primarily a showman and his main goal was to put money in his own pocket, this little book, subtitled Golden Rules for Making Money does have a good deal of common sense about how to make money, and perhaps more importantly, how to keep it once you've made it. Of course, having been written nearly a century and a half ago, some of the advice may be a little dated, but it remains a very readable self-help book.
