4. [The capture of Pocahontas] America. Ed. Theodor de Bry et al. Vol. 10. Frankfurt, 1634. (Ed. Gereon Sievernich. Madrid: Ediciones Siruela, 1992. 338.) (Discovering the New World. Ed. Michael Alexander. New York: Harper & Row, 1976.) (William M. S. Rasmussen and Robert S. Tilton, Pocahontas: Her Life and Legend. Richmond: Virginia Historical Society, 1994. 21.) America was a premier, richly illustrated multi-volume collection on voyages and travel and contains three images from the Pocahontas story. Captain Argall conspired with the Indians to trick Pocahontas into captivity. Rasmussen and Tilton point out the burning in the background as rationale for the abduction pictured in the foreground and middle image.
