We have just returned from a long day trading expedition. We traded with three different Indian tribes. The Indians looked like they had braids and feathers in their hair. They wore animal skin for clothes.They liked the beads and trinkets the best. It was going well. At first they wanted to give us food, but we insisted that we get beaver fur. We returned home to our colony with a barrel of beaver fur.
We have been busy with our spring planting.Each day we work 14 hours in the fields.We have been planting corn and beans.Before the seeds are planted the ground is hard. it is hard work. My back and arms are sore and my hands are covered in blisters. So far we planted 26 acres and want to plant corn more. While we were working in the felds, we saw that are fertilize is working but our beens were not growing.
Today we began building our houses. first, we sent workers into the woods to cut down trees. they cut a lot of wood. then we made a house from the trees. we used these logs to form the walls of our house. our houses had thatch roofs, and each houses had a fireplace so we could cook our meals and stay warm. we were able to build five houses.Our colony in the New World did not have a government. So we stayed on board our ship and made a plan for governing our colony. We elected Ben as our colony leader. He will be responsible for keeping us safe.
We all agreed to follow his rules. After we signed the agreement we went ashore and set up sentries because we need to be safe and because we want to be prepared. |
