One of My Names Was Pocahontas

By Katie Letcher Lyle

Prize-winning author Katie Letcher Lyle has long been fascinated by Pocahontas. At eleven, the Pamunkey girl was sent to negotiate with the English invaders for the return of several of her father's captured braves. She was successful. The question is, how? 

After thirty years of teaching a course in Pocahontas and her people, Lyle decided to channel information from Pocahontas herself. The answer came clear and Lyle decided that the true story must be told.
