Excerpt from The Princess Pocahontas In truth, when I look over the whole world history, I can find no other child of thirteen, boy or girl, who wielded such a far-reaching influence over the future of a nation. But for the protection and aid which Pocahontas coaxed from Pow hatan for her English friends at Jamestown, the Colony would have perished from starvation or by the arrows of the hostile Indians. And the importance of this Colony to the future United States was so great that we owe to Pocahontas some what the same gratitude, though in a lesser degree, that France owes to her Joan of Arc. Pocahontas's greatest service to the colonists lay not in the saving of Captain Smith's life, but in her continued succour to the starving settlement. Indeed, there are historians who have claimed that the story of her rescue of Smith is an invention without foundation.

This book deals with the history of Pocahontas. To most of us who have read of the early history of Virginia only in our school histories, Pocahontas is merely a figure in one dramatic scene—her rescue of John Smith. We see her in one mental picture only, kneeling beside the prostrate Englishman, her uplifted hands warding off the descending tomahawk. By chance I began to read more about the settlement of the English at Jamestown and Pocahontas' connection with it, and the more I read the more interesting and real she grew to me. The old chronicles gave me the facts, and guided by these, my imagination began to follow the Indian maiden as she went about the forests or through the villages of the Powhatans...

Excerpt from Pocahontas While the writer finds himself always best satisfied with his task when his drama most nearly approaches an accurate portrayal of history, yet it would be well-nigh impossible to poetically dramatize the actual historic facts concerning any character, so few of his actual words being usually recorded. Withal, the writer hopes to instruct his read ers by constantly keeping in view the prime motive of a dramatist's labor which is, the poetic interpretation of heroic character.
