Blood on the River:  Jamestown in 1607
 
Samuel Collier can’t believe his good fortune!  Captain John Smith chose him to be his page and accompany him on a voyage to the New World.  But is it good fortune for Samuel after all?  Treacherous life at sea for all those months, a new land with Indian raids, disease, hunger, and death will all be a part of his “new” life.  Could life as a page be worse than his current life as a street urchin, thief, and fighter?
