The document summarizes the choices and experiences of early Jamestown settlers from the perspective of multiple surveyors, including: 1) Building a fort was a good choice for protection, but relying solely on slaves for labor was not sustainable and led to food shortages. 2) Attacking native Americans was a bad decision and they would have been better off trading with them for food. 3) Choosing to grow tobacco and sassafras as crops was a mistake as it prioritized money over securing food supplies. Growing staple crops like wheat and corn would have been preferable.
