Pocahontas & John Smith: Love and Survival in the New World

The romantic tale the Native American teenager, Pocahontas, and John Smith is an American legend. Was it really a love story or the figment of a vivid imagination?

The truth of Pocahontas' life is subject to interpretation of both the oral and written accounts, which contradict one another. She lives on through her own people, who are still here today, and through the descendents of her two sons.
