TIMELINE
1624
John Smith's The Generall Historie of Virginia, New-England, and the Summer Isles, which emphasizes treacherous natives, a heroic Smith, and the one "good" Indigenous figure, "Princess Pocahontas," is published. Historians have since questioned its reliability. It includes Smith's map Virginia: Discovered and Discribed.
