CAPT. JOHN SMITH (PT. 6) THE REAL STORY

In Part Six we see Smith elected president of the colony in place of his former rival Ratcliffe, who had turned as many against Capt Smith as possible before his poor character was revealed to all by hoarding food and wine for himself.  Smith finds that Ratcliff was operating under an assumed name. Meanwhile, Newport arrives with a ship full of...not needed food and supplies...but a group of new colonists and supplies intended for the coronation of a new king of Virginia- King Powhatan.  A foolish move if ever there was one, to prop up Powhatan with a title, a new house, and a shipload of goodies.  This kills all of Smith's past efforts at trade and  sets up Powhatan with the confidence that he can get whatever he wants from the Great White Father and his lackey Capt. Newport.  Powhatan immediately decides he can starve out the colony to get weapons in return for food instead of copper and trinkets and kill Smith, who is no longer needed.   YOUR REVIEWS AT APPLE/ITUNES ARE NEEDED AND APPRECIATED!   Copy and Paste the highlighted links to your Apple or Android Devices for free listening:  APPLE USERS   Catch 1001 RADIO DAYS now at Apple  iTunes!   https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/1001-radio-days/id1405045413?mt=2 Catch 1001 HEROES now at Apple iTunesPodcast App:  https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/1001-heroes-legends-histories-mysteries-podcast/id956154836?mt=2 Catch 1001 CLASSIC SHORT STORIES at iTunes/apple Podcast App Now:  https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/1001-classic-short-stories-tales/id1078098622?mt=2 Catch 1001 Stories for the Road at iTunes/Apple Podcast now:  https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/1001-stories-for-the-road/id1227478901?mt=2 ANDROID USERS- 1001 Radio Days right here at Player.fm FREE:  https://player.fm/series/1001-radio-days 1001 Classic Short Stories & Tales: https://castbox.fm/channel/1001-Classic-Short-Stories-%26-Tales-id381734?country=us 1001 Heroes, Legends, Histories & Mysteries:  https://castbox.fm/channel/1001-Heroes%2C-Legends%2C-Histories-%26-Mysteries-Podcast-id1114843?country=us 1001 Stories for the Road: https://castbox.fm/channel/1001-Stories-For-The-Road-id1324757?country=us Catch ALL of our shows at one place by going to www.1001storiesnetwork.com- our home website with Megaphone.
