Pocahontas Jeanne Nagle

Many school-aged children are familiar with the story of Pocahontas. Yet most accounts of this Native American icon are gleaned from sources such as fables and animated feature films. They are rife with inaccuracies. This book emphasizes the truth behind the embellishments, examining how an Indian princess first befriended early American colonists and then became an influential contributor to their survival and well-being. Your readers also gain a meaningful review on life in the Jamestown colony and the customs and traditions of Algonquin society.
