Thanks for that post. That is what I remember from taking the tour at Jamestown. We had a similar story here in California. A utopian group wanted to build a community among the Sequoias and earn their money by building a toll road and attracting tourists. They were not roadbuilders, they were upper middle class. Since it was socialist, they kept expecting somebody else was getting the work done. Soon, they were begging their relatives to send them money and supplies, as they were going hungry. The enterprise folded, of course.
Capitalism isn’t easy but it gets the job done.
The cut marks are too deep and narrow to have been made by stone tools.
The “Native Americans” didn’t eat that girl.
The ancestors of todays Libtards and parasitic classes ate her.
I was having an argument with a socialist once who insisted that man had an inherent need to work. I corrected him by saying that man had an inherent need to be rewarded for his work. If tasked with cutting down a tree and given the choice of a hand saw versus a chain saw, a man will choose the chain saw every time, minimizing the amount of work invested and putting to rest the lie of his inherent need to work.
For his reward (i.e. having the tree cut down), the reward is much greater for the amount of work invested utilizing the chain saw as opposed to the hand saw. Yet this socialist really believed that the hand saw was the better option for the good of society.
Socialism is madness.
Some of the recipe books from that period for beef stew start out with add carrots, celery and 1 human....
This is getting personal! (see tag)
Have you ever experienced summer at Jamestowne? I visited there one year in July, and it is just awful -- hot, humid, buggy, etc. I could barely breathe, and I was being transported on a tour wagon! Now, imagine that you are already severely weakened from illness and hiding from unfriendly Indians and think about how eager you are to work in the garden!
I can see the resemblance!

There is always that possibility, given the progressives’ hatred of Western Civilization.
Well on the left she does look fetching for a lass of that time. The average man in 1608 wouldn’t have said so, but today one might call her “yummy”.

You bring up an excellent question. Why couldn’t, wouldn’t, or didn’t they fish? Or clam or go after lobster or whatever? I’m pretty ignorant of both fishing and the East Coast, so I can’t have any opinion myself, but I’d find it interesting if someone wants to explain this.

Thanks for the ping !!!
Apparently, their EBT cards had been depleted.
If you want to call that socialism, than so is a corporation. The Virginia Company was a for-profit business, that the settlers were employees of.
