DOCUMENT A
Many people have commented over the last four
centuries on the qualities of Jamestowns
environment Because the adjacent river and
creeks became brackish as water levels rose,
reliable sources of fresh water would have been
scarce by the seventeenth century, English
colonists dug shallow wells to supply themselves
with sources of drinking water, but these were
vulnerable to drought and salt water intrusion.
Also, historian Carville V. Earle
attributeddisease in the early years to
Jamestowns position at the salt-fresh water
transition, where filth introduced into the river
tended to fester rather than flush away. The
island is not situated at a point of great
natural food abundance, especially relative to
other locations very close byFish are present in
local streams, but only in the spring and early
summer are they there in impressive abundance.
  1. What is Brackish water?
  2. What twice daily event would cause water levels
    around Jamestown to rise and cause wells and
    fresh water streams to become brackish?
  3. According to Carville Earle, what happened to
    human waste that got dumped into the river?
  4. What inference can you make about the effect of
    tides on health in Jamestown?
  5. Consider the last paragraph, what time of the
    year do you think starvation was most likely to
    happen?

Jamestown Droughts, Science, April 24, 1998
DOCUMENT B
  1. What does it mean when the line falls bellow the
    O line? What were the dates of the first five
    years of settlement in Jamestown?
  2. Look at the years 1580-1640. During which period
    did Jamestown suffer its longest unbroken period
    of drought?
  3. In the winter of 1609-1610, Jamestown experienced
    what settlers called the starving time. Based
    on this document, what inference can you make
    about the cause of the starving time?
  4. Could the lack of rain strain English relations
    with the Powhatans? How?

Historie of Virginia, New England, and the Summer
Isles, Book III, 1624.
DOCUMENT C
  1. How many settlers arrived in May 1607? 1608?
    How many had known occupations?
  2. How many settlers from either group were female?
  3. What is a gentleman?
  4. Of the 110 settlers who arrived in May 1607,
    nearly 70 were dead by December. Is there
    anything in the ship lists that helps explain why?

DOCUMENT D
(In 1609) Francis West and thirty-six men
(sailed) up the Chesapeake Bay to try to trade
for corn with the Patwomeke Indiansalthough
still part of Powhatans confederacy, the tribe
had seen less of the English than had those
closer at hand and with luck might be more
friendly. And so it proved. Though West was
able to load his (small ship) with grain, the
success involved some harshe and Crewell
dealinge by cutting of towe (two) of the Salvages
heads and other exteremetyes. The (ship) and
her lifesaving cargo returned to (James Towne)
No one doubted that this new supply of grain
would help, but it would not be enough to last
the winter. On the other hand, decided the
ships crew, it was plenty to get them fatly home
to England. So it was that Francis West by te
perswasion or rather by the inforcement of his
company hoysedup Sayles and headed out into the
Atlantic, leaving the colonists to the Indians
and to God.
  1. Is this a primary source or a secondary source?
  2. Why did Francis West sail up the Chesapeake?
  3. Is there any evidence that the English forced the
    Indians to trade their grain?
  4. What eventually happened to the shipload of
    grain?
  5. How could this document be used to help answer
    the question of why so many settlers died?

DOCUMENT E
  1. What is the total number of colonists to arrive
    at Jamestown by the end of August of 1609?
  2. In 1607 how many settlers died from disease? How
    many were killed by Indians? How many in 1608?
  3. What caused the deaths of settlers in 1609?
  4. What can you infer about settlerIndian relations
    from 1607 to 1609? What is the trend for deaths
    from disease or native attack in 1607, 1608, and
    1609?
