The instructive antipathy which had

Fredericksburg's claim to historical dis

records. The Magazine of American His
tory states that in 1870. thirty-seven years
before the landing of the nrst English
colony at jamestown, the first Christian
shrine in America was built by Spanish
missionaries on the spot now occupied by
fredericksburg. Captain Smith reached
the spot in 1908 and debarking. planted a
cross on the site, disputing possession Of
the land with a tribe of Indians. Later
through the offices of a friendly red man,
who accompanied him, he was enabled to
effect a treaty with the tribe that per-
mitted unresisted settlement by the
whites.

constantly IN use as a human habitat and
