captain john smith

Captain john smith returned fom the Jamestown colony. he was telling his story before the Court of King James. He tells of the unrest in the colony and how he set out to make peace with the Indians. He is captured and sentenced to death, but Pocahontas makes her celebrated intervention and, instead of a slaying, there is a wedding. At Jamestown, Smith makes efforts to keep the colony united and the Indians from attacking, in spite of the efforts of some in the colony who stir up trouble for their own gain. He exposes them and returns to England to give his report. He stays because Pocahontas, thinking he is dead, has remarried.
