Love and Hate at Jamestown by David A. Price David A. Price, Love and Hate at Jamestown: John Smith, Pocahontas and the Heart of a New Nation (New York: Alfred A. Knopf)As a young child, many of us were raised to know the story of Pocahontas and John Smith. Whether it was in a Disney movie or a school play that we first learned about Jamestown, students want to believe that this romantic relationship really happened. As we get older, we become aware of the dichotomy between reality and fiction. This is brilliantly explained in Love and Hate in Jamestown by David A. Price. Price describes a more robust account of the events that actually took place in the mismanaged, miserable but evolving colony of Jamestown, Virginia; and engulfs and builds on the story marketed by Disney and others for young audiences. Price reveals countless facts from original documents about the history of Jamestown and other fledgling colonies, John Smith, and Smith's relationship with Pocahontas. It develops a more compelling read than the typical high school textbook and writes in an intriguing manner that keeps the reader pursuing successive chapters of early Virginia history..
