Captain John Smith is a biography written by Charles Dudley Warner, chronicling the life and adventures of the famous English explorer and colonial leader. The book covers Smith's early years, his travels to the New World, and his experiences as one of the founders of the Jamestown colony in Virginia. Warner delves into Smith's relationships with Native American tribes, including his famous encounter with Pocahontas, and his leadership during the colony's early struggles with disease, starvation, and conflict. The book also explores Smith's later years, including his return to England and his efforts to promote colonization and exploration in the New World. Overall, Captain John Smith offers a fascinating look at the life of one of America's most iconic historical figures, and sheds light on the early years of European settlement in North America.The London to which Smith returned was the London of Shakespeare. We should be thankful for one glimpse of him in this interesting town. Did he frequent the theatre? Did he perhaps see Shakespeare himself at the Globe? Did he loaf in the coffee-houses, and spin the fine thread of his adventures to the idlers and gallants who resorted to them?This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
