Hakluyt’s book, however, told the story with a heroic crusader captain and a beautiful Arab princess as the two characters. Hakluyt himself moved to Virginia later on, and Rolfe may have known him there. The story in both books is about an English captain whose life is saved by the princess, but in Rolfe’s version the captain was John Smith. The myth of Pocahontas and John Smith became an important operant in the construction of America, and had its counterparts all over the hemisphere.

In Hakluyts boek zijn de twee personages echter een heldhaftige kapitein-kruisvaarder en een mooie Arabische prinses. Hakluyt zelf verhuisde later naar Virginia en misschien heeft Rolfe hem daar gekend. Het verhaal gaat in beide boeken over een Engelse kapitein wiens leven wordt gered door de prinses, maar in Rolfe's versie was de kapitein John Smith. De mythe van Pocahontas en John Smith werd een belangrijke operant in de constructie van Amerika, en had zijn tegenhangers over het hele halfrond.
