The First Winter
December is not a good month to be working outdoors in New England. However, and the settlers had plenty of work to do. On December 30 indian house only we found where formerly had been some inhabitants fields that were cleared already. If they had to strip the land and trees in order to build shelters and plant the might not have survived. What the pilgrims actually had discovered was land that belonged to the Patuxet Indians members of the Wampanoag Nation. It was inhabitants because the Patuxet community had been wiped out by diseases brought to the new world by European explorers and fisherman. Just imagine billiding a home in the winter.
Conclusion
The pilgrims lived rout in my opinion especially the first winter. Pilgrims had to work when they got to America.When pilgrims arrived on the Mayflower there was a spars amount of food.The first winter was hearty because they had to build shelter in the winter.The pilgrims where hard workers they sighed a agreement to the joint-stock company to work for seven years thats a long time just to get land and be free
