Jamestown Nightmare Reflection


Jamestown was a nightmare because the Native-Americans were bad people. They bow and arrowed the English. The Native-Americans were good at gorilla warfare so the English could not shoot back. The English had special armor. The suit weighed 26 inches, the hat had a rim around the bottom to protect them from bullets, and the sword had a special handle so if it hit their hand it would not hurt.


 Pocahontas saved John Smith and the colonists life because she bought the jewelry that he offered and they got corn in return. After that he went back to the fort that John Smith and the colonists had built to give the colonists food. When they first built the fort they started off with 100 people and by the end they ended up with less than 50. They died because they needed water and they only had salt water. They drank salt water which was bad. It caused their brain to get a signal to drink more and then the salt caused the brain to drink all of the organs water.


John Smith and his colonists panned for gold. They went down to the lake and did not find any gold. One of the colonists, (the name was not specified) had a large bullet in their leg and then smaller bullets spreading up to 5 inches. By the time the colonists shot 1 bullet the Native-Americans bow and arrowed 10. Once Captain John Smith was sitting by a tree smoking tobacco and somebody put fire on the tree. The fire caught John Smiths powder bag and shot his leg out. They said that it could of possibly saved his life though.


John Smith an the colonists did not voyage after that. They stayed in Jamestown. Captain John Smith was the owner of Martha's Vineyard and he named it after his daughter. The reason Jamestown was a nightmare was from the Native-Americans. After they settled in Jamestown, they should never be haunted again by the Native-Americans. Their are people living there and they are proud Captain John Smith settled there.
