Most Americans know the story of Pocahontas, but not the fact that
she was a Christian, and the reasons for her dramatic conversion.
Pocahontas had a history-altering encounter with Jesus Christ. A
key figure was Alexander Whitaker, pioneer Anglican missionary in
Virginia, who taught Pocahontas the Christian faith - but is almost
totally unknown today. This story of Pocahontas has never fully
been told. Or it has been ridiculed. Yet it is true, as this book
now documents. In these pages the real Pocahontas comes alive as a
flesh-and-blood person with her own thoughts and decisions. This
book shows the beauty, the romance, and the tragedy of Pocahontas's
short life. It also traces the way the Pocahontas story has been
used and misused over the past 400 years, opening the door to the
larger issue of the suppression of native peoples in US history.
The real story of Pocahontas presents a timely case study both in
the history of missions and the history of America - an
investigation of the interplay between gospel, culture, and
national mythology.
