1893. Illustrated. Musick's early writings were sometimes written
under pseudonyms, Benjamin Broadaxe (or Broadax), Ebenezer Slypole,
and Don Jenardo, among others. He was admitted to the bar and
practiced law until 1882 when he began to devote full-time to his
writing. Pocahontas is one of the volumes in his 12 volume set of
Columbian Historical Novels. In Chapter VII he writes: There is no
story more dear to the heart of the American than that of
Pocahontas. It has been so often narrated that it has become a
nursery legend, yet in all history none more dramatic and touching
can be found. It has moved hearts since it was first told to
civilized ears. Each succeeding generation reads anew the tender
tale, narrated, perhaps, by some new author, who, in song or story,
makes of Smith and his child rescuer the incarnation of his own
fancy. It has been told in romance, sung to the sweet notes of the
harp, performed on the stage, and gravely narrated by the
historian, yet wherever heard, however told, it loses nothing; the
story itself is always the same, and never fails to move the heart
of the listener. See other titles by this author available from
Kessinger Publishing.
