Around the time of her baptism in 1613, Pocahontas met an English settler named John Rolfe. Although she was only 19-years-old, it was to be her second marriage...and for 28-year-old Rolfe, it was his second marriage as well. Their marriage soon became a symbolic bridge across the waters of the Atlantic.
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.
