Love and Hate in Jamestown: John Smith, Pocohontas and the Heart of a New Nation: John Smith, Pocahontas, and the Heart of a New Nation

by David Price (Author)

Synopsis

Drawing on period letters and papers, David Price unravels a tale of courage and cowardice, tragedy and costly triumph. He explores the crucial role of Pocahontas, a figure obscured by centuries of legend; and he paints indelible portraits both of the aged Indian monarch Powhatan and of Captain Smith, whose resourcefulness saved the colony from starvation and death.
