No. The story about them is not true. Smith 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.
What else can I help you with?
If John Smith really loved Pocahontas then why would he move back to England never to see her again?
She saved his life, she isn't fictional.
Why did Pocahontas want to be friends with the English?
She snuck out from home to see capt. John smith
Why did Jamestown colony start?
The founders of Jamestown wanted money. SO England gave them 4 ships, The nina, the pinta, and the santa maria. The settlers were trying to find gold and silver, but instead they found marshy lands, a lot of mosquito and contaminated water. But, thanks to a very strong leader (captain john smith) helped them survive! So basically they wanted money$$$ silver and gold :)

After she saved him from getting his brains busted, they became close friends. Later, he was injured and returned to England, and she was told he was dead. She married John Rolfe at 16, and several years after he brought her to England to meet with King James and Queen Anne. She never had a royal hearing, but she did wait on the queen as one of her ladies. She met up with John Smith again in England when he learned that she was about to move back to Virginia. During that time, she called him "father" because that was the way she felt about him, and she said that he should call her "child." It was only several weeks later that she died in England.No. She married John Rolfe in April 1614, when she was 18 or 19 years old.She was only about 12 when she allegedly interceded for John Smith in December, 1607its really married but o well. any ways no after a while he was captured, Pocahontas was told he was dead. but he really was not. she left an got married to john Rolfe. she saw him again an lets just say they talked an agreed never to see each other again! that's terrible! :( that's the best i got :)Yes

When did john smith leave Jamestown?
Smith left Jamestown in the fall of 1609 for England to seek medical treatment. He was hurt when a bag of gunpowder that he had around his waist accidentally ignited and he suffered terrible burns.
Is it possible to be related to Pocahontas through her son Peregrine Smith that she had with John Smith?
Yes, it is possible. There are varying accounts historically of what happened with and between John Smith (Smyth) and Pocahontas. It depends on who's "version" of history you believe. There is evidence of Peregrin Smith born in Jamestown in 1608 at which time Pocahontas would have been 13 or 14 - certainly of child bearing age. There is too much evidence otherwise to dismiss these historical traditions. The only way to verify a connection would be to have DNA testing on a Rolfe family descendant and yourself to see if there is a match that would connect Pocahontas.
Is Seeing Jesus by John William Smith true?

What does Pocahontas have to do with Andrew Jackson?
Andrew Jackson was president of the U.S when Pocahontas was alive. He believed that native Americans were savages. He disliked them and wanted the land they lived on . So, he forced them to move west through the Indian removal act. That's why in the movie Pocahontas the white people start chanting savages when john gets kidnapped. If you research more about the story of Pocahontas you will see the connections to the movie.
Who sang the song 'I'd really love to see you tonight'?

What were facts about John Smith?
(1580-1631). The story of the life of Captain John Smith, as told by himself, reads more like an adventure novel than like a true autobiography. He was baptized on Jan. 6, 1580, in Willoughby, Lincolnshire, England. In about 1600 he ran away from home and, traveling through France and at sea, survived some fantastic adventures. Then he fought in the war against the Turks in Hungary. After being captured and sold into slavery, he escaped to Russia.In 1605 Smith joined an expedition that was preparing to go to America to found the colony of Virginia. During the voyage he was accused of conspiracy and he faced hanging. He was kept under restraint until after the expedition reached the James River. Then it was discovered that he was one of the councillors appointed by the Virginia Company in England to govern the colony, and the conspiracy charges were dropped. Soon the incompetence of others forced him to take charge of the Jamestown settlement, and he issued the famous order, "He who will not work shall not eat." He traded with the Indians to supply the colonists with corn.While in Jamestown Smith was captured by hostile Indians and brought before their chief, Powhatan. As a warrior stood ready to club Smith to death, the chief's daughter Pocahontas embraced him and persuaded her father to spare his life. The truth of Smith's account of his rescue, however, is in doubt.In 1609 Smith went back to England. In 1614 he charted the coast of southern Canada and the area he named New England. On a return voyage the next year he was captured by pirates, and he returned to England penniless. He spent much time in writing, and, though his works are not fully reliable, they provide much information about the Jamestown settlement. Smith died in London in June 1631. (See also Jamestown; Pocahontas.)
