I need help with my people project...can anyone help?

Question

my united states history teacher assigned people projects for the summer for this school coming up. i have to find a primary source for John Smith...the founder of jamestown but the only one i can find is 5-6 pages on windows. Now, lol, what i need help on is: get a paragraph out of it that sums up his life...any help?

Answer 1

Even before he reached North America, John Smith had led a life full of adventure and danger. His legendary encounter with Pocahontas is just one of many exciting episodes found in several books he wrote about his own life. Smith’s accounts of his adventures have not always been believed since they are quite flattering to him. There is no proof, however, that his stories are untrue. He was Born January 1580,

in Willoughby, Lincolnshire, and died June, 1631 in London, England.

Hope that helps.

Answer 2

okay well basically he has ambitions to go to the new world and settle in the chesepake bay area for economic purposes. He was lent a charter and when he reached the new world he set the town name as JamesTown after the king ( James 1) He then was captured by native americans where his head was suppose to be bashed in but the beautiful daughter of the chief who was trying to kill him Pohcahontas saved him. She later married John Rolfe. He then got injured via gunpowder and went back to england where we supposibly never returned to JamesTown again but he did however discovery New England? i think it was
