IMPROVED ANSWER:
John Smith was an English Soldier and adventurer. He helped establish the first permanent English colony in America, at Jamestown, Virginia.
In 1606, Smith was part of a group that sailed from England in order to establish a colony in Virgina. It was financed by the Virginia Company of London, an organization formed partly by London business people. These people believed gold and silver could be found in America, and the colonists were instructed to transport the precious metals back to England.
The colonists landed in Virginia in 1607, and founded a settlement, which they named Jamestown, in honor of King James I. From the beginning, Jamestown suffered from disease, starvation, and Indian attacks. Most of the colonists were unable or unwilling to work to feed and protect themselves.
Smith served as president of the colony from 1608 to 1609. He enforced order, required all the colonists to work, and traded with the Indians.
Under Smith's leadership, Jamestown was almost free from hunger and disease. Smith sailed back to England in 1609, after being wounded in a gunpowder accident. That winter, the colony was almost wiped out by starvation and Indian raids.
In 1614, John Smith returned to America, and spent several months exploring the coast in the Massachusetts Bay area. He later named this region "New England."
