Do you know the true story of Rebecca Rolfe (also known as Pocahontas)?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------
Many people have seen the popular Disney movie, Pocahontas. But, here isthe true story of an Indian princess and the English settlers at Jamestown.
In 1607 the English established a colony at Jamestown, Virginia. But the harshwinters were more difficult than the settlers had planned and they soon found that their supplies were becoming dangerously low. One day, during 1608, CaptainJohn Smith and some of his men were captured by Indians while they were out searching for food. Captain Smith's men were all killed and he was taken to ChiefPowhatan. The mighty Indian Chief ordered that Smith be killed. At the last moment, the Chief's daughter, 13 year old Pocahontas, pleaded with her father andsaved Captain Smith's life.
A few years later, Pocahontas would once againsave the lives of many in Jamestown by warning the settlers of an Indian attack. She made friends with the settlers and was soon trusted by them. In 1613, when she was 18 years old, Pocahontas accepted Jesus into her life and was baptized. She also took the "Christian" name of Rebecca to mark the beginning of her new life.
Soon after her baptism, Pocahontas fell in love and married a Jamestown settler named John Rolfe. In 1616, John, Rebecca and their son all traveled to England where they were given an audience from the royal court. As they prepared to return home to Virginia in 1617, Pocahontas became ill and died. Shewas buried in England.
Pocahontas will always be remembered as the Indian princess who risked her own life to save Captain John Smith and the settlers of Jamestown. But the really notable aspect of her short life is that she was the first Indian in the new world to be converted and accept Jesus Christ.
