Another one of the prolific publishing Goodrich family. Descriptions of the two rescues and the reunion in England. A paean to Pocahontas: "What a worthy girl was this! She was a savage, but her deed was noble! She had never been taught to love her enemies; but she shewed a benevolent disposition. Indians are cruel, and, at times, excessively so; but they sometimes show kind and generous feelings. The name of Pocahontas, and her generous deed, ought to be remembered, and will be remembered while America lasts."
