Biography: Pocahontas - Her True Story - $19.99 This edition of Biography, the long running documentary series from A&E, explores the life of the legendary Pocahontas. Born Matoaka, Pocahontas was a Powhatan historical figure; born in present-day Virginia. She reportedly interceded with her father, Chief Powhatan, to spare the life of John Smith of Jamestown colony. After adopting Christianity, she married John Rolfe and traveled to England in 1616. She died (possibly of smallpox) on the trip back. Through her son, Thomas Rolfe, she is an ancestor of the Randolph family of Virginia. Her folklore legend continues to this day as she is often represented in Indian legend and her story was adapted into a Disney production. ~ John Patrick Sheehan, Rovi |

Pocahontas by Mossiker, Frances Edition , 0 $15.99 The amazing story and alluring personality of Pocahontas (1595–1617) have endured the enlargement of legend and the distortions of time, as if waiting for Mossiker's skill, scholarship, and sensitivity to reveal Pocahontas as she was. This biography illuminates the dual world within which she struggled to identify herself, and her enormous impact on its leading figures: the first encounters and skirmishes between Indians and Englishmen in 1607; Pocahontas's dramatic rescue of Captain John Smith and her later abduction; her marriage to the Father of Tobacco, John Rolfe; the fateful voyage to England and her early death. The book also examines the myths and commercialization that have entombed Pocahontas through the centuries. In absorbing detail this vivid biography resurrects the real Pocahontas and unveils the uses—noble and ignoble—America has made of her. |
