(History of the United States, from the Earliest Discoveries to the Present Time. New York, 1854. 47-56.) Willson, who was offered the position of founding president of Vassar, authored three popular reading series over a period of three decades, and his history books, which began around this time, were also constantly in print during the same period. Pocahontas's rescue of Smith and her marriage to Rolfe are covered in this survey of early Virginia history, but students are not told of her abduction.
