aug 18, 1609 - Starving Time

Description:

The winter was the "Starving Time", which was a time when local natives killed English livestock and barricaded the settlers in their colony. The English ate anything they could including pets and human corpses. This showed the English that they needed to find a solution to the Indian situation.
