John Smith founded the colony of Jamestown and explored the Chesapeake Bay.

John Smith was the captain leading colonists in the settlement at Jamestown.

After settling Jamestown, disagreements with the Powhatan tribe would lead to the capture of John Smith. Original accounts state John Smith was treated well and was able to negotiate peace. After his release, members of the colony would capture the daughter of the tribe's chief, Pocahontas. She would eventually marry John Rolfe and move to England. John Smith continued to lead Jamestown until forced to return to England to report on the settlement.
