What are the problems at Jamestown settlement?

When Jamestown was settled by the 107 men who arrived in VA they settled in a poor spot. The land was swampy, the water bad, the mosquito's carried disease, and the Native Americans were not happy that they were there. Instead of getting to work and creating a settlement they built a fort and began to look for gold. The men who came didn't come to settle, but to get rich. Within the first 3 months of the 107 men who had arrived only 36 were left alive. They died of disease, and battles with the Native Americans. Recent research has shown that there was also a Spanish spy among the men in Jamestown. In 1608 400 new settlers came to Jamestown but by the summer of 1609 there were only 90 left alive.
