We have just returned from a long and excusing day trading expedition. We traded with three different tribes. The Indians looked wired and funky and feathers on there heads. They wore animal skins. They liked the beads and trinkets the best. It was though to convince tribe 2. At first they wanted to give us nothing. But we insisted that we get beaver skins. We returned home to our colony with 48 beaver skins.
We had to work 5 hours in the fields. We have been planting corn,peas,barley and beans. Before the seeds are planted the ground is fertilizer with fish been busy with our spring planting. It is hard work. My fingers ,legs and back are sore and my hands and toes are covered with blisters. So far we have planted 24 acres and want to plant six more. While we were working in the fields, we are busy planting our crops. No one else died while we were planting our crops. There were no one else planting in the field we were planting in. All the animals would not eat our crops because of the fertilizer with fish.
We decided we must make friends with the local Indians. We planned to do this by signing a piece treaty and sharing land. The Indians liked our gifts and gave us corn to plant. Not one of us could speak their language so we talked to them by talking to Squanto. We stayed with them for two days and we were able to make friends with native Americans.
During our voyage across the Atlantic we ate pickled beef, cheese, biscuits and pork. In the New World the Indians showed us other foods we could eat such as berries, corn and pumpkin. We didn't like these foods because they weren't served in holland. The lack of food caused hungry disease and death. So far ten of our colonists died. The saddest death was when Charlotte got sick and died because she was good at planting corn and other crops.
Yesterday we began building our houses. First, we sent the strongest men into the woods to chop down the largest oak trees. They swung their 25 pound axes hit crack it falls.Then we made logs from the oak trees. We used these logs to form the walls of our house. Our houses had yellow thatch for our roofs, and each house had a fireplace to keep warmth, and so we could cook our meals to eat food. We were able to finish 3 houses. We were on the pace of four houses
Our colony in the New World did not have a government. So we stayed on board our ship and made a plan for government our colony. We elected Will and Sarah as our colony leaders. We will be responsibility for changing the laws. We all agreed to respect my decisions. After we signed the agreement we went ashore and set up sentries because we needed to protect our colony from danger.
We set sail in 1620 in August. The speedwell kept on having problems with the boat, so the mayflower and the speedwell had to go back and forth twice. The mayflower had to carrie 102 pilgrims and 20 sailers. The mayflower had a crack and they had the materials to fix at that moment. The weather was really clear in the begging. Later in the journey the weather got a little rough. There were really strong winds. We stopped in Newfoundland to get new supplies and clean water. There was a crack and they fixed it by using a iron screw. They stored all kinds of food in the bottom of the ship.The captain, or the master lived down low in a great cabin.
