""The Settlement at Jamestown, With Particular Reference to the Late Attacks upon Captain John Smith, Pocahontas, and John Rolfe"" is a historical account of the establishment of the Jamestown colony in Virginia in the early 17th century. Written by William Wirt Henry and published in 1882, the book focuses on the conflicts and interactions between the English settlers and the Native American tribes in the area, particularly the Powhatan Confederacy.The book begins with an overview of the initial settlement of Jamestown in 1607 and the challenges faced by the colonists, including disease, starvation, and conflict with the Powhatan people. It then delves into the role of Captain John Smith, one of the most prominent figures in the early years of the colony, and his relationship with Pocahontas, the daughter of Powhatan chief Wahunsenacawh.Henry examines the controversy surrounding Smith's accounts of his interactions with Pocahontas and the accusations of falsehood and exaggeration that were leveled against him by some of his contemporaries. He also explores the life of John Rolfe, the English settler who married Pocahontas and played a key role in establishing the tobacco industry in Virginia.Throughout the book, Henry provides a detailed and nuanced look at the complex and often fraught interactions between the English settlers and the Powhatan people, shedding light on the cultural and political differences that led to conflict and misunderstanding. ""The Settlement at Jamestown"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the early history of America and the interactions between European colonizers and Native American tribes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
