Pocahontas


    Pocahontas is mostly famous for her saving Captain John Smith. Some people have begun to really doubt that it was true. It might have been just an indian ritual to adopt him, since Chief Powhatan, Pocahontas' father, liked him. She also had several names. One day, some natives traded her for a copper kettle. After that, John Rolfe married her, and she was baptized, becoming a Christian. She had wanted to be buried in her native land, but at the age of 20, she died of small pox in England and was buried there.
