About this Item

The legendary account of Pocahontas saving the life of John Smith is a well-known episode in the early interactions between English settlers and Native Americans in colonial Virginia. According to Smith's writings, during the winter of 1607-1608, he was captured by the Powhatan Confederacy, led by Chief Powhatan. In a dramatic turn of events, Pocahontas, Chief Powhatan's daughter, intervened to save Smith from execution. The exact details of the incident remain a subject of historical debate, with some historians questioning the accuracy of Smith's account. Nevertheless, the story has become a significant part of the cultural narrative surrounding the early English colonization of America, symbolizing moments of cooperation and understanding between indigenous peoples and European settlers. The relationship between Pocahontas and John Smith is often romanticized in popular culture, though historical accuracy is challenging to ascertain. Published by Johnson Fry & Co. New York, 1868.
