The First prosperous Settlement In The New World

In 1604, Samuel de Champlain and his crew sailed to the New World. When they found St. Croix Island, they presumed it would be a safe place to build a settlement. Unfortunately, the first settlement was built too quickly and was unsterdy. The winter was harsh. The whistling wind was heard through the frost-covered windowpanes which were covered in frost. Almost half the men died that winter. The smell of death was in the air. When the crisp winter was gone and spring had come, hose who survived went on to new land and built a new weatherproof settlement. Champlain decided the settlers should eat off the land. Gardens were made and meat was hunted. They made banquets in warm building with the best gravy covered meat and steamed corn, carrots, and potatoes. Port Royal was the first prosperous settlement in the New Wold.
