Little bent on the top corner but otherwise it’s like brand new. This one I believe I bought at a scholastic book fair years ago or I somehow got it through the school system. It was a winner of the Laura Ingalls Wilder medal. This book is a trumpet club special edition. Pocahontas was only 11 years old when, on her knees, she begged her father, Chief Powhatan, to spare the life of the captured Englishman John Smith. According to tribal custom, this act made him her “brother,” a kinship she never forgot. But relations between the Indians and the white settlers at the Jamestown colony were ever-changing. For ten more years. Pocahontas would be caught in the tensions separating the two cultures. And before there could be peace between them, tragedy came to Pocahontas.
