This is an interesting factual look at a story many of us has come to know through fictional accounts. Pocahontas did marry John Rolfe, but probably did not convert to Christianity or visit England out of love for the English. More likely, she was engaged in acts of preservation for herself and her people. It is unfortunate that more information about her is available, but this book provides insight into her life not as a symbol, but as a real person. ( )
