Captain John Smith is probably best known for his association with the colonization of Virginia from the early days of Jamestown, and his exploration of New England. But, he had quite a colorful life leading up to these days, much of which is highlighted in this adventurous account of his life including, far flung battles with the Turks. Of course, his encounter with the Powhatan maiden, Pocahontas is also included. - Summary by Larry Wilson
