"Pocahontas is the most myth-encrusted figure in early America, a romantic "princess" who saves John Smith and the struggling Jamestown colony. But this fairy tale, familiar to millions today from storybook and film, bears little resemblance to the extraordinary young woman who crossed cultures and oceans in her brief and untimely tragic life."
