Physical description; obl. 4º. Includes color illustrations and decorated endpapers. Summary; The famous story of the romance of John Smith and Pocahontas has been written about in novels and children's books, dramatized in plays and animated films and immortalized through famous paintings. According to historians, though, the tale could be completely untrue. According to a passage in John Smith's diary, he was captured and taken to meet Chief Powhatan at Werowocomoco, the main village of the tribal nation. As the natives were about to behead Smith, Pocahontas threw herself across his body, pleaded to her father to release him and saw his safe return back to Jamestown. Harvard historian Henry Brooks Adams is one of many academics who have attempted to debunk Smith's claim. While Smith believed Indians had captured him, historians believe that he could have been involved in a tribal ceremony where participants go through a series of events that symbolize death and rebirth to initiate them as a member of the tribe. While there is no way to prove either account, the episode between John Smith, Pocahontas and Chief Powhatan lead to a friendly relationship between the settlers and the Native Americans and, ultimately, a successful Virginia colony. Subjects; Pocahontas -1617. Smith, John 1580-1631. Genre; Biography.
