And His Brave Adventures
By R E Pritchard
Captain John Smith is best remembered for his association with Pocahontas. However this was only one small part in a life that was filled with extraordinary adventures. As a soldier he fought the Turks in Eastern Europe, winning a coat of arms. For his armorial bearings, he chose the motto, 'Vincere est Vivere' - 'To Conquer is to Live'. He was one of the original founders of the English settlement at Jamestown, where he faced not only considerable danger at the hands of the local Indians, but also from within the faction-ridden settlement itself.
John Smith was a remarkable man in the great tradition of Elizabethan adventurers, brave, resourceful, intelligent and outspoken, with a vision of what America could become. This books reads like an adventure story, of battles, disasters, triumphs and of a refusal ever to give in.
Born and brought up in India, a graduate of Balliol College, Oxford, R E Pritchard taught Renaissance English literature at Keele University, Staffordshire. He has published on a variety of subjects including D H Lawrence, medieval misericords, Renaissance woman's poetry, John Donne and the Jacobean traveller, Tom Coryate. He lives in West Oxfordshire.
