Unlike the Pilgrim scenes on this board, this picture shows a Virginia event: the 1614 marriage of Pocahontas, daughter of the Powhatan leader, to the English colonist John Rolfe. The union was celebrated by the colonists as a step toward peace between the Jamestown settlement and the Powhatan people, and it helped hold back open conflict for several years. Nineteenth-century American artists returned to the subject often, shaping it into a national story of reconciliation. Historians now read those images as much about how the country wanted to remember its origins as about the events themselves.
