"Pocahontas, America's first and greatest legendary heroine, is transformed in these pages from the simple Indian maiden of American history to a complex woman torn between her allegiance to her own people and her fascination with the white man... In addition to a penetrating portrait of Pocahontas, this book, based on intensive historical research, presents an accurate and exciting picture of the American Indian--his customs, beliefs, religious and social rites--and the dramatic story of the Jamestown settlers, divided into petty factions and struggling in hostile country against overwhelming odds"--Back cover.
