Two new books have been published focusing on significant Native Americans involved in Virginia’s early colonial history.
Unlike other important and influential figures in early American history such as Powhatan and Pocahontas, Opechancanough is far less known, with “no full-length biography, no really detailed account of who he was or what his achievements were, ... no monuments, no memorials,” said Horn, who decided to “put the record straight.”
In "A Brave and Cunning Prince," James Horn — of Jamestown Rediscovery — draws on evidence and, necessarily, informed speculation to portray the life, lineage and impact of a Native leader of the first Anglo-Indian Wars in Virginia.
