Pocahontas

There are a lot of legends about John Smith and Pocahontas. On of the most common one shows them having a relationship. This wouldn't be likely because she was only around ten years old according to the video Pocahontas. There is a chance that she may have saved his life because she was one of her father's most trusted advisers according to the video about her. She also helped the settlers survive by bringing them food. Not a lot but just enough to help them survive. She was also her father's favorite daughter.
