Pocahontas
Virginia at that time was in need of investment and new colonists. To do this, it was necessary to show the residents of the Old World that it is possible to live next to the indigenous residents of North America – the Indians. Having converted to Christianity and married a colonist, Pocahontas (or already Rebecca Rolfe) was very well suited for this task.
In 1616, John Rolfe, Pocahontas, their son Thomas, and eleven other Indians went to England. On June 12, they arrived at the port of Plymouth, then moved to London.
At that time, John Smith lived in London, whom an Indian princess saved from death nine years ago. Upon learning of her arrival in England, he wrote a letter to the wife of King James I of England, Queen Anne, in which he spoke very warmly of Pocahontas and asked the queen to treat her with respect.
On January 5, 1617, Pocahontas, along with other “delegates” of Virginia, was received by the king.
John Rolfe and Pocahontas actively participated in the social life of the English capital. At the beginning of 1617, at one of the receptions, Pocahontas accidentally met John Smith. As Smith himself wrote later, their conversation was rather cool.
In March 1617, John Rolfe considered his mission in England accomplished. With his family and his companions, he boarded a ship bound for Virginia. But before they even had time to go to the open sea, Pocahontas’ state of health deteriorated sharply. The ship returned to port, Pocahontas was taken ashore, but she died soon after. John Rolph wrote that before his death, Pocahontas told him: “Everyone dies sometime, the main thing is that our son remains alive.” Pocahontas herself lived only about twenty-one years.
Pocahontas was buried in Gravesend, England. The exact location of her grave is unknown, but a monument to the now-famous girl was erected next to Gravesend’s church.
Now, four centuries after the events took place, it is hard to separate the truth in the story of Pocahontas from fiction. The image of the Indian princess must have been largely embellished and exaggerated. He has been portrayed many times in books, movies and even in the famous cartoon. The story of Pocahontas and John Smith’s relationship, whatever it really was, has been romanticized.
But in any case, it is indisputable that Pocahontas is one of the most famous and popular personalities of the early period of US history.
