Pocahontas was a daughter of a Native American chief who lived in Virginia. The story has been told that John Smith had made friends with the chief's twelve-year-old daughter Pocahontas. Later John Smith was captured by Native Americans. Just as he was to be killed by a stone war club in the hand of the chief, Pocahontas ran to him, placed her head on his, and begged her father not to kill him.


Later when a war broke out between Native Americans and the white settlers, Pocahontas was captured. She was put on an English ship. During that time she fell in love with John Rolfe, who was also on the ship. John was an early English settler of Jamestown, Virginia. They were married two years later. She became a Christian and was baptized with the English name, Rebecca. In 1616 she went to London with her husband. She was received as a Native American princess.
