Love and Hate in Jamestown by David A. Price David A. Price, Love and Hate in Jamestown: John Smith, Pocahontas and the Heart of a New Nation ( New York: Alfred A. Knopf) As children many of us grew up to be familiar with the story of Pocahontas and John Smith. Whether they first learned about Jamestown in a Disney movie or during a school play, students want to believe that this romantic relationship really happened. As we get older, we become aware of the dichotomy between reality and fiction. This is brilliantly explained in Love and Hate in Jamestown by David A. Price. Price describes a more in-depth account of the actual events that occurred in the poorly managed, miserable but evolving settlement of Jamestown, Virginia; and it overwhelms and edifies the story marketed by Disney and others for young audiences. Price reveals countless facts from original documents about the history of Jamestown and other fledgling colonies, about John Smith, and about Smith's relationship with Pocahontas. It develops a more engaging read than the typical high school textbook and writes in an intriguing manner that keeps the reader continuing to the next chapters of Virginia's early history..
