Synopsis

Every school child knows the story of how Pocahontas saved the life of Captain John Smith, but thats not the whole story. The Native American Princess, Pocahontas was born as the daughter of Powhatan, chief of the Powhatan confederacy. It was Pocahontas, known as Matoaka by her clan, who interceded on behalf of John Smith in 1608 and then persuaded her father to bring food to the starving colonists at Jamestown. She spent the remainder of her life acting as an intermediary between the Native Americans and the English.

I have just finished The Princess Pocahontas by Virginia Watson. I came by it as a tossed in item in an auction. The date of publishing is 1927. The copyright date is 1916. Great story along with 9 full colour illustrations. I learned much historical info too. Great change oh pace for me.......more
