When the men landed in the swampy section of the James River they were focused on finding gold. They were sent by investors to bring back gold and not to begin a colony. The 104 men were a combination of soldiers, sailors, rogues, a Spanish spy, and wealthy men looking for adventure. Not one was a farmer so no crops were planted. The land the fort was on was the worse in the area, the water was bad, and mosquitos brought disease so of the men who landed 34 were still alive at the end of 6 months. This was the starving time when the men left ate rats, old leather, dead friends just to stay alive.
