Hampton Roads plan national aid still alive for Jamestown expo
The Jamestown Exposition battle over a $3,000,000 federal appropriation continues. Rep Tawney argues the US would cover all costs without state pledges, while Gen Fitzhugh Lee backs federal support as essential. Hampton Roads, near Fort Monroe, would host an international naval display with access from Yorktown, Jamestown, and Williamsburg, linking to St Louis lessons and national progress. Virginia has already pledged roughly $200,000, and private subscriptions exceed $1,000,000 as talks proceed.
