What was john Smith's behavior after he is captured?

Answer 1

In all instances that Captain John Smith was captured, he remained calm and devised crafty ways of freeing himself. However, given that the only source of the details in Smith's exploration books are the man himself, many have doubted the truth in them.

Answer 2

After being captured by Powhatan warriors in 1607, John Smith claimed that he was treated well, with his life spared by chief Powhatan's daughter, Pocahontas. However, some historians suggest that Smith may have exaggerated or fabricated this account to enhance his own image. Regardless, Smith eventually returned to England in 1609 and continued his involvement in colonial ventures and writing about his experiences in the New World.
