It is November 1621. We have 80 colonists left, and we have 27 acres of harvested food. We also have 11 houses built. We have 2 barrels of beaver skin to pay off debt. We also have a peace treaty with Indians. And we also have religious freedom. We have raised our children with English traditions. We got 2 barrels of beaver skin from trading with the Indians, we traded beads and trinkets. It was rough traveling the ocean with no potty and a hole in the boat.

We have just returned from a 3 day trading expedition. We traded with three different Indian tribes. The Indians looked different because they had feathers on them and paint. They wore animal skin. They liked the European materials the best. It was hard compromising with them. At first they wanted to give us food, but we insisted that we get beaver skins. We returned home to our colony with 2 barrels of beaver skins.
We have been busy with our spring planting. Each day we work 14 hours in the fields. We have been planting corn, barley, peas, and wheat. Before the seeds are planted the ground is dry and hard so we fertilize it. It is hard work. My back and shoulders are sore and my hands and feet are covered with blisters. So far we have planted 27 acres and want to plant 3 more. While we were working in the fields, Squanto showed us how to plant the crops.
Dear Diary,
It was fall 1620, crossing the great ocean was an adventure. At first the weather was fair then it changed and the seas became rough. At one point we feared for our lives when the ship had a hole. Life on a ship was not fun because it was a tight squeeze. At one point a passenger fell of the boat. Another thing that happened was their was a great wind storm and we set back 4 days. |
