""The Story of Pocahontas"" by Charles Dudley Warner is a historical account of the life of Pocahontas, a Native American princess who played a significant role in the early years of the English settlement in Virginia. The book begins with a brief overview of the history of the Virginia Company and the reasons behind the English colonization of America. It then delves into the life of Pocahontas, describing her childhood, her interactions with the English settlers, and her eventual marriage to John Rolfe.Throughout the book, Warner provides a detailed description of the cultural differences between the Native Americans and the English settlers, highlighting the misunderstandings and conflicts that arose as a result. He also explores the political and economic factors that shaped the relationship between the two groups, including the role of Pocahontas as a mediator between her people and the English.""The Story of Pocahontas"" is a well-researched and engaging account of a fascinating historical figure. It provides a valuable perspective on the early years of English colonization in America and the complex interactions between Native Americans and European settlers.The simple story of the life of Pocahontas is sufficiently romantic without the embellishments which have been wrought on it either by the vanity of Captain Smith or the natural pride of the descendants of this dusky princess who have been ennobled by the smallest rivulet of her red blood.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
