may 26, 1607 - Natives Attack!

Description:

200 Natives attack Jamestown, claiming 2 lives and wounding 11 others.

My perspective: The Natives were hostile towards the settlers due to previous encounters with explorers being quite detrimental to them.

17th century perspective: The colonists likely saw this as pointless savagery by the Natives, as Natives were, from the colonists' perspectives, prone to do. (P. Harvey)
