The name of the Indian Princess who saved Captain John Smith's life was not Pochantas. It was Matoaca. Her father's name was not Powhatan. It was Wahunsenecawh. Furthermore, she was not full blooded Indian. She was part white and prevented Captain John Smith's execution because she believed him to be her Grandfather.

In all his experience as a department store Santa, T. L. Light, 2505, The Terrace, Richmond, says he never had anything pierce his heart so much as the time a poor undernourished little boy dropped a penny in his palm while shaking his hand.
