8. Pocahontas Legend
The story begins when Smith and two English companions are ambushed by Indians. After killing his two companions, the Indians take Smith to their chief, Powhatan. After two months in captivity, Powhatan determines to have the Englishman clubbed to death in a ritual ceremony. According to Smith, the plan is thwarted only when the chief's daughter, Pocahontas (then aged 11 or 12), throws herself between him and his attackers causing her father to relent. Smith published his account of the incident in It is the only description of the event we have and some historians doubt its authenticity. However, the account permanently etched his name in American folklore.

Colony for Protection (1624)
The Indian Massacre of 1622 led to the deaths of nearly 400 settlers, wiping out several entire communities. Jamestown was spared from destruction due to the warnings of a Native American boy named “Chanco", who gave warning to colonist Richard Pace. Pace, after securing himself and his neighbors on the south side of the James River, took a canoe across river to warn Jamestown, which narrowly escaped destruction. A year later, leaders of Jamestown worked out a truce with the Powhatan Native Americans and proposed a toast, using liquor laced with poison. 200 Native Americans were killed by the poison, and 50 more were slaughtered by the colonists. In the Virginia Company lost its charter, and Virginia became a royal colony.
