David James Kiracofe describes the jubilee celebration in Jamestown inside of his “The Jamestown Jubilees: “State Patriotism” and Virginia Identity in the Early Nineteenth Century” article. Jamestown is the first English settlement to begin jubilees. Great details on whom attends these celebrations and the activities that take place are given. Explanation for these series of nine different toasts that took place regularly at these different celebrations are also given. It may be possible this is where giving toasts during the holiday time came from. Holidays came along because of the Jamestown Jubilee celebrations that occur yearly. Holidays now are once a year, too. This information is valid and would be useful to any one writing or speaking on jubilee celebrations or how holidays came along. Kiracofe must have found this significant enough to write about it.

In the article “Jamestown’s 400th Anniversary”, James S. Pula takes a closer look on the next settlers in Jamestown. Polish arrived in Jamestown after the Englishmen in 1608. Evidence is proven that Polish did arrive and did a number of activities in early Jamestown to be service in the essential industries. Smith appeared to be unhappy about the Polish’s arrival because they came empty handed. Polish did not bring any food supply along with them. Jan Bogdan along with another craftsman helped save John Smith’s life against the attack of Indians. This scholarly article would be useful to a Polish American History class....
