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 John Smith propose to Pocahontas for John Rolfe?

No, John Smith did not propose to Pocahontas for John Rolfe. John Smith was a close friend of Pocahontas and played a significant role in her life, but the marriage between Pocahontas and John Rolfe was a separate event. Pocahontas and Rolfe were married in 1614, primarily as a means to establish peace between the Jamestown settlers and the Powhatan Confederacy. Smith's involvement with Pocahontas was more about their friendship and mutual respect rather than any proposal for Rolfe.
