Pocahontas, also known as Matoaka, was taken hostage by Captain Samuel Argall in 1613. He had bribed some of her companions, tricked her into coming aboard his ship, and held her captive in return for the release of English prisoners in the custody of her father, Powhatan. The chief refused to negotiate, so Governor Thomas Dale sailed up the York River and burned a native village. During her captivity, Pocahontas was baptized and married John Rolfe. This work was published by Johann Theodor de Bry and contains three parts. The first part includes two letters of Amerigo Vespucci describing his voyages to America in 1497 and 1499. The second is derived from Ralph Hamor, A true discours of the present state of Virginia, London, 1615. The third part is derived from Captain John Smith, A description of New England, London, 1616. Theodor de Bry's America. Pt. 10. Latin. Imprint information from colophon.
