CHALLENGES OF JAMESTOWN
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It soon became apparent why the Native Americans did not occupy the site, and the inhospitable conditions severely challenged the settlers. Jamestown Island is a swampy area isolated from most hunting game such as deer and bears which like to forage over much larger areas. The settlers quickly killed off all the large and smaller game that was to be found on the tiny peninsula. The low, marshy area was infested with mosquitoes and other airborne pests and the brackish water of the tidal James River was not a good source of drinking water. The settlers consisted mainly of English farmers and Polish woodcutters hired in Royal Prussia. The settlers who came over on the initial three ships were not well-equipped for the life they found in Jamestown and many suffered from saltwater poisoning which led to infection, fevers and dysentery. As a result of these conditions, most of the early settlers died of disease and starvation.

Despite the area being uninhabited, the settlers were attacked, less than a fortnight after their arrival on May 14, by Paspahegh Indians who succeeded in killing one of the settlers and wounding eleven more. By June 15, the settlers finished the initial triangle fort at Jamestown and a week later Newport sailed back for London on the Susan Constant with a load of pyrite ("fools' gold") and other supposedly precious minerals.

Jamestown was named after James I. While president of the colony, Smith led a food-gathering expedition up the Chickahominy River where his men were set upon by Powhatan Indians. As his party was being slaughtered around him, Smith strapped his Indian guide in front of him as a shield and escaped with his life but was captured by Opchanacanough, the Powhatan chief's half-brother. Smith gave him a compass which pleased the warrior and made him decide to let Smith live. However, when Smith was brought before Chief Powhatan, the chief decided to execute him, a course of action which was (as related by Smith) stopped by the pleas of Powhatan's young daughter, Pocahontas, who was originally named Matoaka but whose nickname meant "Playful One." After returning to his duties in Jamestown, Smith was wounded in an accident. He was walking with his gun in the river, and the powder was in a pouch on his belt. His powder bag exploded and in the fall of 1609, he was sent back to England for medical treatment.

While back in England, Smith wrote A True Relation and The Proceedings of the English Colony of Virginia about his experiences in Jamestown. These books, whose accuracy has been questioned by some historians due to some extent by Smith's boastful prose, were to generate public interest and new investment for the colony.

CHALLENGES OF PLYMOUTH
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The first settlement of the colony was "New Plymouth", later Plymouth, Massachusetts. The site, known to the Wampanoag as "Patuxet", had recently been abandoned following an epidemic. The colonists chose it because it had a reliable supply of fresh water and the land had already been cleared. By the end of the first winter, almost half of the settlers were dead, from accidents and from scurvy and other diseases. Because of the lack of housing, many of the settlers spent time aboard ship that winter, which helped to spread fatal diseases. Half of the Mayflower's crew also died as they wintered with the colonists. Thus began one of most historically renowned and yet ill-fated colonial ventures in America (after the Roanoke Island settlement and Jamestown).

The second group of settlers sailed on the Fortune, which arrived November 10, 1621. This second group, numbering about 34, was much smaller than the original Mayflower group but was almost as large as the survivors of that group, who numbered only around 50 when the Fortune arrived. The third group, of about 74 members, arrived on the Anne and the Little James in August 1623 and included the wives and children of several Mayflower passengers. The fourth group arrived in June 1629 on six ships and landed at Naumkeag (Salem, Massachusetts). The fifth group arrived June 1, 1630. They landed at Nantasket and settled Mattapan, which they called Dorchester, after their native city in England.
