Part I
Chapter 1 - Jamestown

Willi peered out of the car window as she watched her owner, Mr. V, head to Jamestown Settlement for a tour. It was a very hot day but Mr. V figured that Willi would be fine with the window rolled halfway down. He couldn't have been more wrong! It gets hot in a parked car very quickly, and a dog could die of heat stroke in a matter of minutes! Willi naturally gets overheated and makes a jump for it, losing her collar in the process. And thus begins her wonderful, wacky tour of history from a dog's point of view!

Her first stop, which required her to crawl under several big fences, was a Powhatan Indian village. The Indian shook their heads and said that they had not seen Mr. V. They graciously gave Willi food and water just like they gave the Englishmen when they arrived in 1607.

The Indians encouraged her to look for Mr. V at Historic Jamestown where archaeologists were unearthing the beginnings of our history. Willi was so positive she would find Mr. V there that she raced off, leaving behind a lively game of corncob darts.

"I'll come back to play!" Willi shouted to the tourists who had gathered for a game.
