No. 4. ENGLISH AND INDIANS MEETING AT
JAMESTOWN IN 1607. Shortly after their arrival the
colonists were visited by a number of Indians, who
approached without fear, and seemed to show by their
gestures that they wished to tell them of their friendly
disposition. The English men presented them with beads
and pieces of tin, which were received with delight.
The Indians paid them many visits after this, bringing
with them presents of skins, game and other things, in
exchange for which they were greatly pleased to receive
the trifles mentioned. This early promise of friendship
and peace was, however, soon rudely dispelled, and the
constant and serious conflicts led to the loss of many
lives. Had it not been for the strong hand of Capt.
John Smith, that fell heavily upon them in swift and
dire punishment whenever occasion arose, the settlement
could not have existed in the face of the fierce antipathy
that developed among the Indians.
