17. Selected image: page 85. Source: Lilly, Lambert. [Hawks, Francis L.] The Early History of the Southern States: Virginia, North and South Carolina, and Georgia. Philadelphia, 1832. 76-89, 100-6. Very full account written in colloquial direct address to younger readers. Only a few embellishments on the basic facts told many times by others, such as "Not long after this Mr. Rolfe proposed marriage to Pocahontas. He had long been attached to her, it is said, Indian as she was; and she had no great dislike for him." Now there's a rousing basis for a successful marriage.
