Summary
The first European colony in the New World was the infamous Jamestown settlement. The men who settled there were looking for wealth and adventure; within six months, 80 of the original 100 were dead. Common theory blames malaria or other fatal diseases for the deaths, but recent archaeological and scientific discoveries paint a much more gruesome picture. New evidence reveals signs of disease, starvation, warfare and -- amazingly -- poison. Was death at Jamestown the result of bad planning or a much more sinister plot to sabotage the first colony in the New World?
