Publisher Description
In the early seventeenth century, Captain John Smith led a company of English settlers to found the colony of Jamestown in Virginia. Here is Smith's own account of his adventures there and his relationship with the beautiful Indian princess, Pocahontas. Pocahontas was the daughter of Powhatan, the powerful chief of about thirty tribes of Indians living in Virginia. When Captain John Smith was captured by these Indians in 1607, he was brought before Powhatan, who sentenced him to death. Sixteen-year-old Pocahontas convinced her father to spare Captain Smith's life, thus becoming a friend of the settlers and eventually influencing her father to be friendly, too. Years later, she saved the lives of the entire colony by secretly warning Captain Smith of another intended attack.

About Captain John Smith
Captain John Smith (1580–1631) has become a mythic hero in American history, largely because of the myths he himself created. Smith promoted the Virginia Company’s interests in the New World and provided the leadership necessary to save the colonists during the early years of the settlement. Smith’s descriptions of the settlement of Jamestown and his encounters with the Indians of the region are invaluable resources of American history.
About Jonathan Reese
Jonathan Reese was trained from an early age in music and theater. Of his many credits he was proudest of being a founding member of Berkeley’s Straw Hat review. Formidably intelligent, deeply sympathetic, and highly sensitive to his material, he was perfectly suited for literary narration.
