Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: In 1608, Captain John Smith explored the river now known as the Potomac and made drawings of his observations which were later compiled into a map and published in London in 1612. This detail from that map shows his rendition of the river that the local tribes told him was called the "Patawomeck". |
