Mrs John Rolfe better known as Pocahontas (American Roots in English Soil (ARIES))

Description

Legend or truth, Disney film or recorded history, painting in the USA Capitol or stained glass window in an English Church, the story of Pocahontas has all the time been a mystery in The usa and in England. Used to be she in reality a Princess? Did she fall in love with Captain John Smith, and if this is the case, why did she marry John Rolfe? What in reality happened at her baptism and marriage in Jamestown, Virginia, in 1614? Used to be she a willing converted to Christianity or Used to be she forced into faith? Why did Mr and Mrs Rolfe come to England with their young son in 1616, only for Mrs Rolfe to die and be buried in Gravesend?

Pupils of Heacham Junior School pupils tried to answer these questions in 2006, working with John Haden and their teachers. Our account of the life of this unique Virginian Indian woman is as close to the truth as conceivable, with imaginative insights from young people of today. Written primarily for adults with an interest in History, we are hoping it’s going to be shared with your children and grandchildren. First published to celebrate 400 years from the 1607 Founding of Jamestown, an enlarged edition marked her 400th Wedding Anniversary. This edition is to mark 400 years since the visit of Mrs John Rolfe, better referred to as Pocahontas, to England with her husband and son in 1616. It has been an ARIES best seller in both England and The usa.
