81 Mhow Pocahontas saved the life OF
M Captain Smith when he was
" about TO be killed by the Indians.
But have you ever heard the true
story Of the wedding OF Pocahontas
and John Rolfe. about a year and a
half later?
The marriage ceremony was curious
because It combined many crude In
dian customs with the English ways,
which were very much the same then
as now.
The wedding was celebrated In the
only church In jamestown, Virginia
a crude little building OF stone and
logs. The inside walls were covered
with sweet-smelling evergreens; great
clusters OF flowers and scarlet holly
berries were placed here and there
til the church was as gay and frag-
rant as could be.
The bride Pocahontas was dressed
IN a long. loose robe OF hand-woven
white muslin and from her head hung
a long white veil very much the same
as brides wear now.
Fastened loosely around her feet
was a rlSh robe given her by Sir Thos.
Dale. the Governor OF the colony, and
heavily embroidered by Pocahontas
and her maidens.
