In 1607, men started a colony in Jamestown. With their minds only on gold, they searched and searched, but eventually there supplies ran out and about a third of the population was left. John Smith managed to bring them together with his "no work, no food" policy. He was elected leader, but a gunpowder explosion sent him to England for medical care.
