Starvation and high school cliques in early Jamestown? Things in Pocahontas that actually happened? John Smith becomes a "good" dictator? Join us as we dive into the wild early days of Jamestown. The first permanent English colony in America was anything but peaceful, with secret councils, imprisonment of John Smith, vicious power struggles, and even starvation. Discover how John Smith navigated through rumors, imprisonment, an explosion, and political turmoil to rise to power. Along the way, we'll unravel which things in the movie Pocahontas were real, and which ones weren’t, making history as dramatic as any blockbuster movie.
