Summary: An Incoherent Work
Comment: This is a poorly written book that poses as a "history." What Gunn-Allen does is to take historical facts and mold them to her interpretation, taking a set of unproven and uncorroborated assumptions and building an elaborate case upon them. The writing is incoherent and, at times, illogical and should remain in the category of "myth narrative." While it offers some interesting historical and cultural insights, it does little to advance an understanding of Pocahontas, the individual, as much as it does to serve whatever agenda Gunn-Allen is promoting.
