The part of the early colonial era that the excerpt describes is the Starving time.

During the harsh conditions of the Winter in 1609, the people of Jamestown, Virginia suffered for cold temperatures and the lack of food. Many people died. Indeed, the excerpt put it in a crude way when it says that: “Now all of us at James Town, beginning to feel that sharp pr*ck of hunger . . . fed upon horses and . . . dogs, cats, rats, and mice . . . boots, shoes, or any other leather. . . . And now famine beginning to look ghastly and pale in every face that nothing was spared to maintain life.”

After that terrible winter, the survivors in the colony decide to board a ship in June 1610 and went to the Cheasepeake Bay but were intercepted and returned by the Governor Francis West.
