In this text-book, there was a section in the chapter I used to find out more information on Powhatan and Pocahontas and their experiences with the English Colonists. It gave insight on the early beginnings of English America and the impact Pocahontas and the Indians had on it.

I used this website as my primary source because there are numerous images of what Pocahontas was portrayed to look like during her time through engraved portraits, paintings, and cartoons. Particularly, I was drawn to the engraved painting that was created during her time which was showing how the Virginia Company wanted to portray her as.

Michelle Le Master composed a book review based on numerous books written about Pocahontas in the effort to make sense of which facts were said and whether or not they were a myth or reality. She communicated a lot of good points about which facts came from which books and how they differ from one another. You can see how it is hard to grasp a solid concept from history when there could be so many different interpretations of Pocahontas from her time.
