There were many round trip voyages across the Atlantic for England's explorers that connected Shakespeare with England’s first colony, Virginia. As we celebrate Thanksgiving this week here in the United States and our minds turn to prominent figures of our history, like Captain Miles Standish, John Smith, and Chief Massasoit, we are honored to welcome the foremost expert in the intersection of Shakespeare’s life with the founding of Jamestown and establishment of early America, Dr Alden Vaughan.
