Along Virginia's James River
The James is the river where America began, the river on whose banks the first English settlement was founded, and the first American river to be named (for King James I). Beginning in the Blue Ridge Mountains at the juncture of the Jackson and Cowpasture Rivers, the James traverses 340 miles to Chesapeake Bay. The James shaped the land through which it cuts it path, and the lives of those living along its banks. It has provided water, food, energy, transport and recreation from time immemorial, and continues to do so today.
