The story of Smith is more legend than truth. Smith didn't last very long in Jamestown and he returned to England with burns caused by gunpowder being sprinkled on him while he slept. It was set on fire resulting in severe burns. Smith later wrote a book an lied about his time in Jamestown and his relationship with the people there. He was an adventurer, and more thief than leader.

The most important rule was that if you did not work, you would not eat. ("He who works not, eats not.") In the early development of the colony a communal farming system was established to disperse food among all the early settlers. This system proved faulty as a large enough group of settlers were taking food without making significant contributions to the town as a whole that food began to run out and starvation was becoming a possibility. John Smith solved the problem by establishing a system that guaranteed that all those who required food in order to survive were willing to make contributions to the community in order to eat.
