À propos de ce contenu audio
She was the daughter of the most powerful chief on the Virginia coast. She was taken hostage at seventeen. She learned English, converted to Christianity, married a tobacco farmer, and sailed to London to charm the court of King James I. Then she stood in a house in Brentford and made John Smith answer for every promise he had ever broken.
Rebecca Rolfe — known to history as Pocahontas — lived her entire life in the space between two worlds that were tearing each other apart. She brokered a peace that held for eight years. She raised a son who became one of Virginia's founding families. She tried to build something that had never existed before on the Virginia coast.
This is the story of what she actually did. Not the Disney version. Not the tragedy. The real thing — a woman of extraordinary courage who tried to steer history toward peace, accomplished more in twenty-one years than most people do in a lifetime, and died on a ship headed home before anyone could see what she would do next.
