Journals of Discovery- General History of Virginia

For my blog this week, i am going to reflect on John Smith's Journal, "The General History of Virginia". When the colonists first arrived, they had many hardships to endure. 
When they first arrived, the weather was hot and it began to take is toll on them. Along with that, they had a limited source for fresh water, making it difficult to work and find gold like they hoped for.  After a while,the colonists ran out of the already small food supply that they had. The only way they could get more food was to trade with the indians, which was a very risky plan.The colonists also faced the dangers of many diseases. These diseases took the lives of many of the men, making the chance of survival less for the remaining colonists. Throughout all of the hardships that the colonists went through, enough of them survived to help build a strong foundation for the country that it would soon become.
