He did NOT save Jamestown. He was only there a very few months and he lied about his contribution to the settlement in a book he wrote several years later. He also made up the story about Pocahontas and she died young so couldn't refute his story. The man who did save Jamestown was the husband of Pocahontas and gave tobacco seeds to the colony. That was John Rolfe.


Did captain John Smith save Plymouth from destruction?

Captain John Smith did not save Plymouth from destruction; rather, he played a significant role in the early years of the Jamestown settlement in Virginia. His leadership and negotiation skills helped the settlers survive their initial hardships from 1607 to 1609. Plymouth Colony, established in 1620 by the Pilgrims, was a separate settlement and was not directly influenced by Smith's actions. While he is a notable figure in early American history, his contributions were primarily related to Jamestown, not Plymouth.
