Excerpt from The Names Chickahominy, Pamunkey, and the Kuskarawaokes of Captain John Smith: With Historical and Ethnological Notes Captain Bartholomew Gosnold on Aug. 22, 1607, but the fortunate presence of this English Captain, so self-denying, so ener getic, so full of resources, and so trained (by his conflict and Captivity in Eastern Europe) in dealing with the savage races? Ratcliffe Archer and Martin with all the rest of those who opposed him, lived in a fool's Paradise and paid for their folly with the loss of their lives after Smith came home; when in spite of all that he had done, the Colony went to rack and ruin, all through the terrible winter of 1609 - 10, known as the starving time.
