Prologue

his is a true story. It took place in the early

17th century. In April 1607, the English ship

Susan Constant arrived in North America. The ship

brought a group of colonists led by Captain John

Smith. They settled in Virginia, near the James

River, and named the place Jamestown. It was

the first place in the New World where English

settlers decided to stay for good.

The peaceful tribes of Red Indians often

visited the colonists at Jamestown to trade with

them. In exchange for glass beads, they gave the

Englishmen meat and grain. However, some other,

hostile Indian tribes used to attack the settlers

whenever they tried to leave their settlement. In time,

the attacks became so frequent that the colonists ran

out of food supplies and began to starve.

One day Captain Smith, together with two armed

colonists and two guides from a friendly tribe, went

hunting in a nearby forest. They were attacked by

a group of Indian warriors from the Algonquian

tribe. Smith’s companions were killed but the captain

himself was saved. He owed this to one of the Indian

guides, who shouted before death that John was an

important leader of the white people. Smith was taken

captive and brought to the village of Chief Powhatan at

Werowocomoco, which was 12 miles from Jamestown.
