English Captain John Smith guided the colonists through difficult times in the Jamestown settlement of 1607. Tradition (not authenticated) says that Pocahontas saved him from death at the hands of Native Americans. Pocahontas, c. 1595–1617, was the daughter of American Indian chief Powhatan. In this illustration, taken from Smith's Journal, illustrates the scene in 1607 when "Powhatan held this state [council] and fashion when Capt Smith was delivered to him prisoner 1607." Smith is the figure at upper left.
