To Conquer Is to Live: The Life of Captain John Smith of Jamestown

144 pp. | Lerner/Twenty-first Century | August, 2001 | Library ISBN 0-7613-1820-8 $$23.90
(4) YA The deeds and personality of Captain John Smith, as well as his famous rescue by Pocahontas, are described in this admiring biography, with quotes from Smith's own writings. The intrusive narration is busy with editorial comments and unwarranted inferences; nevertheless, the brisk work contains a strong dramatic arc. Black-and-white historical engravings and a time line are included. Bib., ind.
Reviewer: Anita L. Burkam
