1907 JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION ISSUE SCOTT #328-330

  Jamestown is considered the first permanent English settlement in the New World. The three stamp set commemorates Captain John Smith, Pocahontas, and the landing of the Pilgrims.
  Interesting fact--
Although the life of Chief Powhatan's young daughter, Pocahontas, would be largely tied to the English after legend credits her with saving John Smith's life after his capture by Opechancanough, her contacts with Smith himself were minimal. However, records indicate that she became something of an emissary to the colonists at Jamestown Island. During their first winter, following an almost complete destruction of their fort by a fire in January 1608, Pocahontas brought food and clothing to the colonists. She later negotiated with Smith for the release of Virginia Indians who had been captured by the colonists during a raid to gain English weaponry.
