Craftsman glassblower in Jamestown, Virginia, circa 1608.
Jan Bogdan (Slovene: Ján Bogdan; yann bog'dun) was a Slovak artisan who arrived in Jamestown, Virginia, on September 28, 1608[1] on the sailing ship "Godspeed",[1] in response to a plea by Captain John Smith to his London agents for craftsmen to help build the first English colony in the Americas.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] (Note: According to some accounts, the craftsmen arrived in Jamestown on October 1, 1608 on the "British ship 'Mary and Margaret' [1][2] [or 'Mary Margarett' ][11][12] under the command of Captain Christopher Newport",[7][13] who is also noted as the captain of the sailing ship "Godspeed".)
Bogdan, originally from Kolomyja,[1][11][12][14] has been described as a "shipwright"[8] and a "pitch, tar and ship building expert".[5][7][15][16] Captain John Smith had personally met Bogdan earlier in 1603 in Poland.[1]
While in Jamestown, Jan Bogdan helped save the life of Captain John Smith[1] "during a surprise attack from the local Indians"[6][7][17] (also noted in "Smith's own journals").[2][14] Later, on June 30, 1619, Bogdan and others conducted the first labor strike[2] (first "in American history"[7]) for democratic rights ("No Vote, No Work")[7][14] in Jamestown.[14][18] When the British Crown overturned the legislation by the Virginia House of Burgesses[19] and granted the workers equal voting rights on July 21, 1619,[20] the labor strike was ended and work was resumed.[2][12][18][21][22]

History[edit]
"New World" Landing (1607)
(reenactment).
.
“
Slovak ingenuity and craftsmanship were highly valued by the redoubtable Capt. John Smith, when on Sept. 25, 1608, the sailing ship "God Speed" sailed into Jamestown harbor with six skilled craftsmen aboard, two of whom, Jurai Mata and Jan Bogdan, were Slovaks. These men with four Poles, Lowicki, Stefanski, Zremica and Sadowski, came in answer to an urgent plea by Capt. John Smith to his London agents, to send "30 carpenters rather than a thousand of the kind we have here." It was largely due to the skilled efforts of these craftsmen that the Jamestown colony was able to secure a foothold on the American continent...
”
—Congressman Daniel J. Flood (D, PA), July 4, 1956, Congressional Record[3]
“
On September 25, 1608, a small ship sailed up the James River bearing six skilled artisans. Axes in hand, they followed Smith into the woods and set about making a clearing. Within 3 weeks they had a roaring fire going under a glass furnace, the first factory in the English colonies in America. They tapped the pine trees and distilled tar and pitch. They set up a soap works and erected a saw mill. Goaded by their example, the entire settlement was soon hard at work. And so it was, that the colony [was] saved by Michal Lowlcki, Zbigniew Stefanski, Jut Mata. Jan Bogdan, Karol Zrenica, and Stanislaw Sadowskl — Polish-Americans all, who landed in America some 12 years before the "May flower".
”
—Congressman James J. Delaney (D, NY), October 8, 1975, Congressional Record[1][4]
