Of the jamestown settlement as nearly as
authentic records may be followed, q
Tyrolean village. a Japanese village and
score Of other communities through
which close study may be had of racial
and economic characteristics. Forestry.
mining and metallurgy and virtually every
phase Of American Industrial life have rep
resentation In the various groups of build
ings.
So thoroughly have the landscape artists
done their work that the jamestown ex-
position gives the impression of being sit
uated In a natural grove of trees. The
glare of the sun loses itself through tho
luxurious foliage that transforms the ex-
position into a sylvan park and romantic
lanes and pathways wind through the trees
until 1t would seem as though one might
easily be lost in the maze. Beautiful
gardens have been laid out with geometrio
symmetry that is remarkable in itself. and
the color blendings of the flowers that COM
prise the plots are those of a mosaic de-
signed by a master hand.
Through 1t all winds the Canoe Trail"
where birch barks propelled by Indians
themselves will convey the visitor along a
waterway beside which the canals OF
Venice would seem less beautiful. The
steady dip. dip of the paddle, the bronzed
figure at the stern, the overhanging, almost
primeval, forest-surely such a scene would
breathe the very atmosphere of those days
before the European visited the shores of
the new world
