While we know our northern friends may not feel it, in the South, Spring is
here. So we thought we'd share a few of our gardening sites appropriate

Gangasco (from shingascui, 'level, wet, and
grassy ground'. Heckewelder). A village of the Powhatan confederacy formerly
near the present Eastville, Northampton co., Va. It was the most important
village on the lowest part of the E. shore in 1722. The inhabitants, who were of
the Accomac or the Accohanoc tribe, were known as Gingaskins and remained there
until they were driven off in 1833, being then much mixed with negroes. (J. M.)
