Powhatan, The Story of an American Indian.
Nee, Kay Bonner
Written for students in grades five and up, this biography focuses upon the later years of the Algonquin chief, Powhatan, and his efforts to achieve peace with the Jamestown, Virginia colonists around 1607. As the chief ruling over 32 separate tribes in the Powhatan Confederacy, Powhatan's dedication to peace is described in terms of the sacrifice of his favorite daughter, Pocahontas, in marriage to the Englishman, Thomas Rolfe. The biography concludes with the death of Pocahontas in England and Powhatan's death shortly thereafter. (JC)
