Duration: 00:03:24
Year Produced: 1995
Description:
Part of the Pocahontas legend is the now fabled rescue in 1607 of Jamestown settler Captain John Smith. However, historians have discussed and debated over the years whether it actually happened...although John Smith records in the book he wrote about Virginia that it did.
Using interviews with historians, Native Americans and others close to the Pocahontas story, POCAHONTAS: HER LIFE AND LEGEND brings together paintings, sculpture, illustrations and more to shed new light on the life and times in which she lived.
