Track 3: The Origins 1 of Virginia In 1606 King James 1 of Britain established the Virginia Company to explore the New World. It was named after Elizabeth 1, the Virgin Queen. King James wanted his explorers to find gold, riches and food products in the New World. He also hoped to find a new way to go to India. Captain John Smith was one of the leaders of the Virginia Company. He was a courageous 2 soldier. When he was young, his life was full of adventure. He and the Austrians fought against the Turks. The Austrians were very pleased with him. They gave him a horse, a scimitar 3 , a coat of arms 4 and the title 5 of captain. Then Captain Smith was captured by the Turks. He was a prisoner in Turkey but he escaped. He crossed Russia, sailed on a pirate ship and returned to England in 1604! Captain Smith then worked for the Virginia Company. He took the English settlers to the New World. He was a strong, intelligent 6 leader. He established the settlement of Jamestown. He explored the Chesapeake region and made maps.
