Reviews

[Karen Snow · Rating 4 out of 5]

Slightly difficult to follow but a decent quick read

Different spelling, pronunciation and Elizabethan dialect make for a slightly uncomfortable read. However for my purpose of research on Pocahontas and my ancestry, it was sufficient.

Another good summary

A good summary of the bare facts surrounding Pocahontas, examining John Smith's claims and notes by others. Would recommend for any researching her story.

[C.S. Woolley · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is not really a fiction story, don't start reading it unless you want to read about the historical accounts that define who Pocahontas is as an historical figure - it's not a tale about her life and loves but instead an unbiased look at how much truth there is to the Pocahontas legend. The language will be hard for a lot of people to get on with, but it is interesting to see where the fact and fiction lies when it comes to the Native American "princess".
