Excerpts
When word came one day in 1619 that a ship had been sighted, the single men of Virginia bathed, shaved, dressed in their tattered best, and made their way to the dock. Onboard the ship were ninety women-single, "honestly educated" women who had crossed the Atlantic to be their wives. According to instructions, the women were intended for the "most industrious and honest planters." Probably most Virginia men considered themselves to fit that description. A planter could take a wife by paying for her passage with tobacco.
