Jamestown, founded in 1607, started off slow. The one hundred and twenty men who came to this first permanent English settlement soon dwindled to forty, due to diseases, starvation-due to not being willing to work for their food, quarreling, and accidents. In the first seventeen years, out of the five thousand, five hundred people who had lived in the town, four thousand had died. The leaders of the town, especially John Smith, worked hard to keep the town going, but it was difficult. Although John Smith was the man who insisted that "if anyone would not work, neither would he eat," it was John Rolfe, Pocahontas' husband, that introduced the salvation of the colony, tobacco farming.
