NOTE.--The truth of the story of Pocahontas has been denied by Mr.
Charles Deane and some other recent writers; but it appears never to have been questioned until Mr. Deane attacked it in 1866 in his notes to his reprint of Captain John Smith"s _True Relation or Newes from Virginia_. Professor Edward Arber discusses the question in his Introduction (pp. cxv.-cxviii.) to his excellent edition of Smith"s writings. He says, "To deny the truth of this Pocahontas incident is to create more difficulties than are involved in its acceptance."
See, too, his sketch of the life of Captain Smith in the _Encyclopaedia Britannica_.
