Captain Sir John Smith (c. January 1580 – 21 June 1631), Admiral of New England, was an English soldier, sailor, and author. Among his many economic adventures, he is best remembered for his role in establishing the first permanent English settlement in North America at Jamestown, Virginia, and for a largely apocryphal story involving his encounter with Pocahontas.
