Most of us studied the colonial period in grade school, but can you name the 13 original colonies, give an overview of the French and Indian War, or know how Jamestown got its name? That time in our history shaped so much of what was to come in the birth and growth of our country, so we thought it appropriate going into the Fourth of July holiday to take a look back at that era. Joining us is Dr. Donald Hayes, governor of the Ohio chapter of the Society of Colonial Wars, and Wilmington Middle School American History teacher Cherie Dixon, who was sponsored by the Society of Colonial Wars to attend the Colonial WilliamsburgTeacher Institute.
