Jamestown? Yup. Between trees, on the ground, there’s more than one circumstance described. I tried to avoid more details. Thot it might gross out some folks. Don’t forget Capn John Smith dropping his powder sack in his own lap and diving into the river to save himself. Lotta stuff in that book that the history class guys leave out. I was fascinated by how well it’s documented.
My library is strictly non-fiction so I look closely at how history-related stuff is put together. Don’t have time for novels, even historical ones because they cause stoopid thinking.
Let’s hope Bidum’s guys don’t find out about it——might try it all on Trump?
There’s no doubt that John Smith was a self-promoter and definitely overplayed/overhyped his claims about his relationship with Pocahantas (who was probably age 9-11 at the time). But the modern-day university “historians” accuse Smith of brutality that was simply random, and it was anything but. People tend to get a little revenge-y after finding their friends have been spatchcocked alive and thrown into a fire piece by piece.
