He was held prisoner twice (2). The first time he was captured and enslaved by the Turks. The second time, he was held prisoner by an Indian tribe, but was "saved" by Pocahontas. [Note this is NOT counting the times he was arrested/shackled.]
The trip at that time took about 30 days.

There was no Native American young woman who helped the Pilgrims; they were helped by two English-speaking Native American men, Samoset and Squanto. Pocohantas helped the English settlement in Jamestown, Virginia. Captain John Smith reported that when the colonists were starving, "every once in four or five days, Pocahontas with her attendants brought him so much provision that saved many of their lives that else for all this had starved with hunger."
The Jamestown settlement sparked a series of cultural encounters that helped shape the nation. The government, language, beliefs, aspirations and customs of early Virginians formed the United States' heritage of present times.

On many days the caravan would only travel ten to fifteen miles. On rainy and muddy days they might only travel one mile! It would take them five to seven days just to travel the distance we can drive a car in a single hour.
Captain John Smith saved Jamestown in the 1700's
Captain John Smith is the man who is given credit for saving Jamestown in its earliest days. He started a rule that if you did not work, you did not eat.
In 1666 the Great Fire of London burned for three days. Issac Newton split light into the seven colors of the rainbow with a prism.
Captain John Smith of Jamestown died June 21, 1631 in London. He was 51 years of age. It is not known what caused his death. His death came rather quickly and he was very weak the last days of his life and could barely write.
62 years 2 months 19 days
If John needs to take 3 days to travel 314 miles, he needs to average 105 miles a day.
It took a couple of days before the question made sense! In a standard contract or deed, it shoud read, "John Smith of City, County, State, spouse of Mary Smith" in the wording.
Pocohontus, an Indian princess, was the daughter of Powhatan, whose residence was 23 miles from Jamestown. Pocohontus probably saw white men for the first time in May 1607 when Englishmen landed at Jamestown. The one she found most likable was Captain John Smith. The first meeting of Pocahontas and John Smith is a legendary story, romanticized by Smith in his later writings. He was leading an expedition in December 1607 when he was taken captive by some Indians. Days later, he was brought to the official residence of Powhatan which was 12 miles from Jamestown. According to Smith, he was first welcomed by the great chief and offered a feast. Then he was grabbed and forced to stretch out on two large, flat stones. Indians stood over him with clubs as though ready to beat him to death if ordered. Suddenly a little Indian girl rushed in and took Smith's "head in her arms and laid her own upon his to save him from death." The girl, Pocahontas, then pulled him to his feet. Powhatan said that they were now friends, and he adopted Smith as his son, or a subordinate chief. Actually, this mock "execution and salvation" ceremony was traditional with the Indians, and if Smith's story is true, Pocahontas's actions were probably one part of a ritual. At any rate, Pocahontas and Smith soon became friends.
