Timed for the 400th anniversary of Jamestown -- a fresh look at its most important leader

Captain John Smith helped found Jamestown in 1607 and was the colony's first leading figure. Drawing on primary sources and new archeological findings, this spirited history brings to life Smith's years at Jamestown, demythologising his relationship with Pocahontas and examining how his hard-nosed leadership helped the colony survive and thrive in its early years.

The book also describes Smith's swashbuckling earlier adventures -- he sailed with a pirate ship in the Mediterranean, fought against the Turkish invaders of Eastern Europe, was sold into slavery and escaped -- as well as his later expedition to map the coast of New England.
