Description
An illustration of Pocahontas pleading for the life of colonist Captain John Smith, after her father Chief Powhatan commands him to be flayed. This version of events has been disputed by historians. Pocahontas (c. 1595-1617) was a Native American in Virginia who assisted colonial settlers at Jamestown, later converted to Christianity, and married the English settler John Rolfe.
