John Rolfe and the Virginia Company?
John Rolfe was an English settler in the early 17th century and is best known for his role in the Virginia Colony, particularly for introducing a profitable strain of tobacco that transformed the colony's economy. He married Pocahontas, the daughter of a Powhatan chief, which helped establish a temporary peace between the English settlers and Native Americans. The Virginia Company, a joint-stock company, financed the settlement of Jamestown in 1607 and aimed to exploit the resources of the New World, with Rolfe's tobacco cultivation becoming a key to its success. His contributions significantly influenced the economic viability and social dynamics of early Virginia.
How did John Rolfe help the Jamestown colonists?
The story we know is not true. Actually the colonist landed in an area of 14,000 Native Americans and in the worse land in the area. Powhatan pretty much left them alone. I think he figured that they would die from the bad water and disease . He was fairly right. Within 6 months there were only 34 men left alive of the 104 who came. It wasn't until after his death that the brother of Powhatan attacked the colony. The story about Smith is also not true. 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 Rolfe write for an English audience?
Yes, John Rolfe wrote primarily for an English audience, particularly in his correspondence and reports about the Virginia colony.

Rolfe's works helped shape English perceptions of America and contributed to the promotion of colonization efforts.
