Smith came to Jamestown in it's second year and did not " go to her land". Jamestown settled on an Native American empire of 14,000 people. They took the land with no respect for the people all ready living there. If the land hadn't been the worse in the area the men of Jamestown most likely would have been attacked. As it was the Native Americans knew that there were problems with swampy land, bad water, and disease so the 104 men built a fort in the "slums" of the empire. Later, after returning to England Smith lied in his book about his role in Jamestown and his meeting of Pocahontas, but by that time she was all ready dead.
