THE UCEHD OF POCAHONTAS.
Did Captain John Hmlt h Invent ltl Ills
Veracity Impeached.
An article on "Captain John Smith" in the
new number of the North American Review
is the first popular presentation of a theory
which has been held for a few years past by
a class of our historical students. It not only
impeaches the veracity of the founder of Vir
ginia, but it almost demonstrates that the
1 celebrated stnrv which tells linw liftwip
i Pocahontas saved his life is but a plea-
rsani action at ine dcbi. ine reviewer
merely repeals the theory of Mr. Charles
Deane, which,, during the war, has been
hidden away in his reprints of "VVmgfleld's
Discourse of Virginia," and of Smith's 'True
.Relation."
It i3 shown that Smith's character was not
unquestioned in his own times. lie had trou
ble with his colonists ; ' it was proved to his
face," says Winetleld. "that he begged in Ire
land like a rogue without a lysense." but
men for the first families m Virglna were a
I motlev crew wn;ilil hnxrllv Initirn hi a romi-
tation now, were it not tor the fact that he
has lett several autobiographical records
which will not adjust themselves on a criti
cal examination to any theory that can vindi
cate his character as a man of veracity.
Let us examine, for example, the legend of
Pocahontas.
Smith started on his trip ot exploration (in
the history of which Pocahontas first appears
as his deliverer from impending death), on
the 10th of December, 1807, and returned on
the 8th of January following. In the same
year Smith published his "True Relation" of
this adventure. In this report he makes no
mention whatever of the heroic Pocahontas.
In 1624 he published his "Gcnerall Historie,"
which introduced Pocahontas in the attitude
best adapted lor winning the applause of a
Bowery audience.
In his "True Relation" he thus speaks of
his introduction to Powhatan, the father of
the renowned Pocanontas :
"From hence this kind king conducted me to
a place called Topuhauocke, a kinedoure upon
another rirer uorthward. The caue ot this
was, that the year before a shtppe had beene in
the river Puinanuke, who, bavins been kindly
entertained by Powhatan, their Emperor, they
tfturued thence, and discovered tin; river of
hopahauocke, where, beiup received with like
Klndnesoe, yet he slue the king and took of his
people, and they supposed 1 were hee; but
the people reported nie a ereat man that was
Captaine, and using nice kindly; the next day
we departed ....
"The next uipht I lodged at a huntins town
of 9whatan'6, aud the next day arrived at
warauauoinoco, where the great 'king is resi
lient.
"Arriviaar at Weramoconioeo their Kmperour
. . . Uindiy welcomed me with eooci wordes,
and great platu ra of sundry victuals, assuring
mee his friendship und mylibertie within four
dajx . . . hee desired mee to forsake Paspa
hepli. and to live with him upon his river, a
icountrie called Capa-IIowasicke, he promised
to give me come, venion, or what l wanted to
I feed us. Hatchets and copper wee should make
Ihim and none should disturb us. This request
&I promised to performe: and thus having with
all the kindness hee could devise sought to
conteut me: hee sent mo home with tour men,
uue mui usually tuuieii uiy guuue uuu kuud-
sacke alter me, two other loaded with bread,
and one to uccorupame me "
Compare this account with his version of
the ame adventure published in 1624:
"At last they brought him to Meronocomoco,
where was Powhatan their Emperor. Here
more than two hundred of those grim Courtiers
stood wondering at him, as he had been a
monster: till Powhatan aud his trayne had put
themselve in their greatest braveries ... At
bis entrance before the Kine, all the people
gave a preut shout. The Queene of Appama
tuck was appointed to bring him water to wash
his hands, and another brought him a bunch of
feathers, in stead of a Towell to dry then:
having feasted him alter their best barbarous
manner they could, a long consultation was
held, but the conclusion was two great stones
wer. orouaht before Powhatan: then as many
as could layd hands on him, draeged him to
them, and thereon laid his head, and being
ready with their clubs, to beate out his braines,
Pocahontas, the King s dearest daughter, when
no intreaty could prevaile, got his head in her
rmes, and laid her owne upon his to save him
from deaths whereat the Emperour was cou-
Rented he should live to make hira hatchets,
I and her bells, beads, and copper.
"Two dayes after, Powhatan having dis
guised himselle in the most learfullesi manner
he couM .... more like a devil than a
man, with some two hundred more as blacke us
himselfe, came unto him, and told him now
they were friends, and presently he should goe
to Jamestowne, to send bim two great eunnes
and a grynstone, for which he would iive him
the county of CapahowoBleit, aud for ever
esteeme him as his sonne Nantaquoud. bo to
Jamestowne with twelve guides Powhatan sent
him, he still expectins (as he had done all this
long time of his imprisonment) every houre to
be put to one death or other; lor all their feast
ing. But Almit'btie God (by His divine provi
dence) had mollitied the hearts of those sterne
Barbarians with compassion. The next morn
ins betimes tbey came to the Fort. . . ."
These passages show that the episode of
rocohontas was an aitertnougu. mui- umj
does he make no mention of her in his flrdt
narrative, but his account of the treatment he
received from her father Drecludes the pos-
aibilitv of the action for which she is now
renowned. He was treated with the utmost
kindness and speedily released. There are
other additions in the later narrative and
several exaggerations. When he was first
captured (according to his "True Relation")
he was guarded by eight men, who increased
(in his history) to thirty or lorty tall fellows ;
his four guides from Powhatan In 1608 be
come twelve tn 124 ; Smith, on his return.

tefcource leit ol which he had already made
such frequent use, and by publishing the
AicTierale Historic' lie made a direct appeal to
the public, more ambitious than anv he had yet
attempted. In this work he embodied everything
that could tend to the increase ol hm own repu
tation, and drew material from every source
which could illustrate the bi.siorv of Knclish
colonization. Pocahontas was made to appear
ii it as a kind cl Mape deity on every (o-sible
occasion, and bis own shnre in the affairs of -the
colony is mnpiiitied at the expense of all his
companions. None ol those who e reputations
tie tieated witn so much harshness appealed to
vindicate their ow n chaiactcrs, fur less to assert
the facts in regard to Pocahontas. The effort
inilcrd failed nl its ohieet fnr lio romamed un
employed and without mark of distinction, and
died quietly in his bed, in London, in June,
1631; but in the absence of criticism, due per
haps to the political excitement of the times,

authority on Virginian history. The readineu
with which it was received is scarcely so re
markable as the credulity which has left it un
