The Princess Pocahontas

The Native American woman who married an Englishman, John Rolfe, and became a celebrity in London toward the end of her life. Her story became the source of much romantic myth-making in the centuries following her death. Through the white forest came Opechanchanough and his braves, treading as silently as the flakes that fell about them. From their girdles hung fresh scalp locks which their silent Monachan owners did not miss.
