The story of Smith is more legend than truth. Smith didn't last very long in Jamestown and he returned to England with burns caused by gunpowder being sprinkled on him while he slept. It was set on fire resulting in severe burns. Smith later wrote a book an lied about his time in Jamestown and his relationship with the people there. He was an adventurer, and more thief than leader.
