About The True Story Of Pocahontas: The Other Side Of
Product Description The True Story of Pocahontas is the first public publication of the Powhatan perspective that has been maintained and passed down from generation to generation within the Mattaponi Tribe, and the first written history of Pocahontas by her own people. Review "...fills gaping holes...with shocking clarity. The True Story of Pocahontas should be required reading for every American history class." -- Historical Novels Review, February 2008 'The True Story of Pocahontas' stands out as one of the greatest true stories of family love, dedication and tragedy. -- Indian Country Today, March 2, 2007 I highly recommend spending the little time it will take to learn about "the other side of history." -- Rose & Thorns, July 14, 2007 It is different. It is beautifully written. Acquire it, read it, then read it again. You will be well rewarded. -- The Virginia Gazette, February 28, 2007 This recollection of Pocahontas' real-life experiences should be required reading for all students of American history. -- Native Peoples, Sept/Oct, 2007 Until now, the words shared in this book were known by only a cherished few. -- Fifty Plus, April 1, 2007 From the Publisher For the first time in 400 years, the true story of Pocahontas is revealed by her own people. This important book shares the sacred and previously unpublished oral history of the Mattaponi tribe and their memories of 17th-century Jamestown that have been passed down from generation to generation. About the Author Dr. Linwood "Little Bear" Custalow was born on the Mattaponi Reservation in West Point, the eldest son of Chief Daniel Webster "Little Eagle" and Mary "White Feather" Custalow. Early in life he was given the mission of learning the oral history of his tribe and of the Powhatan Nation as passed down by his father and his grandfather. Angela L. Daniel "Silver Star" has strived to learn and preserve the oral history of the Powhatan people so it can be passed down to future generations. The late Chief Webster "Little Eagle" Custalow honored Daniel by giving her the name "Silver Star." He encouraged her to learn and pass on the oral history of the Mattaponi.
