Product Description: Among the first settlers to begin the Jamestown settlement in 1607 was the Reverend Robert Hunt. As the first colonists landed on Virginia soil, one of their first acts was to join Rev. Hunt in a communion service, yet the lives of these earliest colonists lacked a strong Christian commitment. Their squabbling, pride, arrogance, and greediness almost wrecked the settlement. The earliest colonists had no room for God in their personal lives and certainly had no concern for evangelizing the Indians. Disease, famine, and later, Indians, began to take their toll. In the earliest years of the settlement, nine out of every ten colonists died. As more colonists arrived from England, the problems multiplied, and the death count mounted.
