CAPT. JOHN SMITH (PT. 6) THE REAL STORY Mar 10, 2019

Show notes

In Part Six we see Smith elected president of the colony in place of his former rival Ratcliffe, who had turned as many against Capt Smith as possible before his poor character was revealed to all by hoarding food and wine for himself. Smith finds that Ratcliff was operating under an assumed name. Meanwhile, Newport arrives with a ship full of...not needed food and supplies...but a group of new colonists and supplies intended for the coronation of a new king of Virginia- King Powhatan. A foolish move if ever there was one, to prop up Powhatan with a title, a new house, and a shipload of goodies. This kills all of Smith's past efforts at trade and sets up Powhatan with the confidence that he can get whatever he wants from the Great White Father and his lackey Capt. Newport. Powhatan immediately decides he can starve out the colony to get weapons in return for food instead of copper and trinkets and kill Smith, who is no longer needed.

CAPT. JOHN SMITH (PT 5) THE REAL STORY Mar 04, 2019

Show notes

Part 5 takes us on two voyages of discovery through the Chesapeake Bay (the largest inland bay in North America) in 1608 where John Smith and his men encounter numerous Indian attacks and ambushes while at the same winning them over with smart statesmanship and cool judgement. They also find a native named Mosco- who is the first Indian they have seen with a beard. They also hear stories of a tribe of giants named the Susquehannocks. Smith names a number of geographic points after his men and moments from his life, and he is nearly killed by a stingray at a point named Stingray point today.

CAPT. JOHN SMITH (PT 4) THE REAL STORY Feb 25, 2019

Show notes

In Part 4 Smith becomes involved in the war against the Turks as Christians battle Turks in Hungary and Transylvania to regain their cities and land. His name is drawn and he faces a well-known Turkish knight in a duel with lances on horseback. Later he falls in battle, is captured, and given to a Turkish princess as a slave.

He finally escapes and heads back to England where he meets Gosnold and is invited to join an expedition to the New World. We then rejoin the Jamestown story at the point where Smith and a small contingent are sent to explore the upper reaches of the Chickahominy River-some of his men are killed- and he is taken captive.
