Note 313 — Chapter V

[See Maxwell’s Hist. Reg. ii., 189; and a note to the earlier part of this chapter. Her story is likely still to be told with all the old embellishment. See Prof. Schele de Vere’s Romance of American History, 1872, ch. iii. A piece of sculpture in the Capitol at Washington depicts the apocryphal scene. W. G. Simms urges her career as the subject for historical painting (Verses and Reviews). She figures in more than one historical romance: J. Davis’s First Settlers of Virginia, New York, 1805-6, and again, Philadelphia, 1817, with the more definite title of Captain Smith and the Princess Pocahontas; Samuel Hopkins, Youth of the Old Dominion. There are other works of fiction, prose and verse, bearing on Pocahontas and her father, by Seba Smith, L. H. Sigourney, M. W. Moseby, R. D. Owens, O. P. Hillar, etc.—Ed.]
