How did Jamestown survive?

"Much of the forest around what used to be the settlement of Jamestown is still thick with foliage, still filled with birdsong and the call of innumerable cicadas, while the James River and its tributaries still roll lazily by. Walking through the stone ruins--some merely nondescript brick piles--of the earliest Jamestown houses, it's impossible not to be struck by the audacity of those who first settled here: quickly marooned in enemy territory, hacking a life out of wilderness without the resources or know-how to survive the next winter, separated from loved ones by thousands of miles of ocean, and usually indentured to someone who was likely to treat you like a slave for years."
