For Captain John Smith of the Jamestown colony, the lovely Indian maiden Pocahontas was just another conquest-though it amused him to teach her to read and write and to introduce her to European ways. Then, abandoning her, he returned to England. Later Pocahontas married the Englishman, John Rolfe and, living in London, her beauty, quick wit, and intelligence made her the toast of society. But the story of Pocahontas was a much fuller, richer one than the bare lines found in the usual history book and here Gerson reconstructs all its moving, warm, and surprising detail. (2156)
