Baptism Of Pocahontas
Additional Details:
| While visiting a treacherous relative, Chief japazaws, in 1612, Pocahontas, in exchange for a copper kettle, was delivered into the hands of captain Samuel Argall, who took her to Jamestown to be held as a hostage, in the hope of making terms with her father, the Indian King Powhatan. This plan proving a failure, Pocahontas remained at Jamestown, was taught the English language, became a devout Christian, and was baptized in the church there under the name of Rebecca, and shortly after married. |
