Captain John Smith? This romantic tale is conspicuously absent from
Smith"s initial accounts of his captivity under Powhatan: "Arriving at
Werawocomoco, their Emperour [Powhatan] proudly lying uppon a Bedstead a
foote high upon tenne or twelve Mattes... and with such grave and
majesticall countenance, as drave me into admiration to see such a state
in a naked salvage, he kindly welcomed me with good wordes, and great
Platters of sundrie victuals, assuring me his friendship, and my libertie
within foure days... In describing to him the territories of Europe, which
was subject to our Great King whose subject I was, the innumerabl e
multitude of his ships, I gave him to understand the noyse of Trumpets,
and terrible manner of fighting were under captain Newport my father... At
his greatnesse hee admired, and not a little feared... [A]nd thus having
with all the kindnes hee could devise, sought to content me: he sent me
home..."" | |
