Early Settlers Come to the New World

I really like learning about the Early Settlers in Social Studies because they have some scary encounters and amazing journeys! The first colony was Roanoke, which only lasted for a few years. John white, governer of Roanoke, left to get more supplies and food. He said he'd be back in two or three months, but the England-Spain war delayed him for two or three years! He finally got back, but everyone was gone! The second colony was Jamestown. It started out with over one hundred people, but after a while, only thirty-eight men were left. Then sixty more people came. The third colony was of course Plymouth, settled by the Pilgrims. Plymouth wouldn't have lasted long without the help of Squanto, an English speaking Indian saved their lives. That is why the Early Settlers are so awesome.
