The Jamestown colony

The history of Jamestown colony is not a happy one, The choice of location, the lies told to the native americans and the colonists unwillingness to farm lead to big problems. Still John Smith seemed to finally turn them around and solve some of the problems. At least he tried to and with the help of Pocahontas things began to improve. It did not stay that way unfortunately. Here is a good book to start your studies of the colonists and their struggles with the elements and their own attitudes.
