Description

Eleven-year-old Pocahontas plays a pivotal role in the lives of two people from different worlds. In 1607, John Smith and his companions arrive in Powhatan to establish a new settlement, but their relations with the village's inhabitants are strained.

The daughter of the Powhatan chief, Mamanatowic, Pocahontas demonstrates remarkable wisdom and compassion, helping to shape the destinies of two peoples. This book offers an important perspective on history through the eyes of two historic figures.
