Summary: The Settlement Of Jamestown

The Jamestown Colony was the foundation for colonization in America as it was one of the first attempts to colonize Aamerica. A primary source titled, “The Settlement of Jamestown,”, written by Captain John Smith in 1607, reflects the challenges that colonists faced in their attempt to make a livelihood in a new, uncharted territory. One of the challenges these colonists faced were the constant brutality that they received from the natives living in the area. In the source it states, “The first land they made they called Cape Henry; where thirty of them recreating themselves on shore, were assaulted by five savages, who hurt two of the English very dangerously.” This explains the extent of the hate the natives had for the English setters.
