I have always been facisnated with Pocahontas, even before the romanticised Disney's version. I have also found early American history as fascinating. It was not surpeise then that I recieved this book as a gift in 1991 from my mommy. I read, of course, but unfortunately, I was too young to comprehend as it was far too advanced (I was Ten). I've had it on by bookshelf, brought it with me when I went to college, settled in a home, and placed it again on my bookshelf. I began reaing it again for the second time and fell in love with Pocahontas all over again. This time, I found myself mesmerized with the description of nature, focused on Pocahontas inner thoughts and that of Smith's and wished there was room for Rolfes' voice. I wished the ending would change into a happy ending for Pocahontas and Smith, but history and this story tells us differently. I cried before I reached the last chapter knowing Pocahontas' fate. I strongly recommend this book. I intend to read it again for the third time and eager to read something that I did not catch the first two times. ( )

Didn't like it at all. Offers a sweet, irrealistic face of native americans encounter with English.

Esto tiene que ver con la vida de Pocahontas como yo vestida de torero. Lo mismito. ( )
