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.
