Read the excerpt from A True Relation written by George Percy below and answer the questions afterwards on the Google Quiz Assignment. If you do not finish before then end of class, then this becomes homework (due on Monday). 

Conditions of Jamestown
As written by George Percy in A True Relation
George Percy was one of the wealthy “gentlemen” among the 144 men who settled Jamestown in 1607. He served as president of the colony during the “starving time” of 1609-1610 when more than 400 colonists died, leaving only sixty survivors. He wrote A True Relation in 1624, partly to justify his leadership during this period.

WINTER 1609-1610__The “Starving Time”
Now all of us at James Town, beginning to feel that sharp prick of hunger which no man truly describe but he which has tasted the bitterness thereof, a world of miseries ensued as the sequel will express unto you, in so much that some to satisfy their hunger have robbed the store for the which I caused them to be executed. Then having fed upon horses and other beasts as long as they lasted, we were glad to make shift with vermin as dogs, cats, rats, and mice. All was fish that came to net to satisfy cruel hunger as
to eat boots, shoes, or any other leather some could come by, and, those being spent and devoured, some were enforced to search the woods and to feed upon serpents and snakes and to dig the earth for wild and unknown roots, where many of our men were cut off of and slain by the savages. And now famine beginning to look ghastly and pale in every face that nothing was spared to maintain life and to do those things which seem incredible as to dig up dead corpses out of graves and to eat them, and some have licked up the blood which has fallen from their weak fellows

By this time being reasonable well recovered of my sickness, I did undertake a journey to Algernon Fort, both to understand how things were there ordered, as also to have been revenged of the savages at Kekowhatan who
had treacherously slain divers of our men. Our people I found in good case and well, liking having concealed their plenty from us above at James Town, being so well stored that the crab fishes where with they had fed their hogs would have been a great relief unto us and saved many of our lives. But their intent was for to have kept some of the better sort alive and with their two pinnaces to have returned for England not regarding our miseries and wants at all, wherewith I taxed Captain Davis and told him that I had a full intent to bring half of our men from James Town to be there relieved and after to return them back again and bring the rest to be sustained there also. And if all this would not serve to save our men’s lives I purposed to bring them all unto Algernon Fort, telling Captain Davis that another town or fort might be erected and built but men’s lives once lost could never be recovered.

Only sixty colonists have survived the winter when Sir Thomas Gates, the new governor of the colony, arrives with supplies and 100 new settlers.

May 16, 1610
Our miseries now being at the highest, and intending as I formerly related unto you to remove some of our men to Algernon Fort the very next tide, we espied two pinnaces coming into the bay not knowing as yet what they were but keeping a court of guard and watch all that night. The next morning we espied a boat coming of from one of the pinnaces. So standing upon our guard we hailed them and understood that Sir Thomas Gates and Sir George
Somers were come in those pinnaces which by their great industry they had built in the Bermudes with the remainder of their wrecked ship and other wood they found in the country, upon which news we received no small joy, requesting them in the boat to come ashore, the which they refused and returned aboard again, for Sir Thomas Gates, having no knowledge of any fort to be built there, was doubtful whether we were friends or no, but being possessed of the truth he and Sir George Somers, which divers others did come ashore at Algernon Fort. And the next tide went up to James Town where they might read a lecture of misery in our people’s faces and perceive the scarcity of victuals and understand the malice of the savages who knowing our weakness had divers times assaulted us without the fort.

Finding of five hundred men we had only left about sixty, the rest being either starved through famine or cut of by the savages, and those which were living were so meager and lean that it was lamentable to behold them, for many, through extreme hunger, have run out of their naked beds, being so lean that they looked like anomalies, crying out “we are starved, we are starved”; others going to bed as we imagined in health were found dead
the next morning.
