Wicked Local
On a warm day in the spring of 1621, English settlers at the new Plymouth Colony were scurrying about their village – such as it was, given that they only a few houses had been built – simply trying to survive.
The winter had not been kind to the Saints, as they called themselves (the term Pilgrims would not be associated with the Plymouth settlers for another two centuries). Half of the original 102 immigrants died from illness and exposure during that bitterly cold, snow-driven season. Now, with the weather warming, the survivors were faced with the difficult task of living despite dwindling supplies, being cut off from their homeland and an uncertain future with local tribes.
