| Summary | "Captain John Smith" by C. H. Forbes-Lindsay is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The narrative focuses on the adventurous life of Captain John Smith, the founder of the first English colony in America at Jamestown, Virginia. It blends accurate historical detail with rich storytelling, illustrating Smith's daring exploits against a backdrop of early American colonial history. At the start of the book, readers are introduced to young John Smith, who is captivated by the excitement surrounding England's defeat of the Spanish Armada. Despite his father's wishes for him to become a farmer, John harbors ambitions of adventure and exploration. With a ten-shilling note given by his guardian, he sets off for London, determined to leave his mundane life behind. He encounters various challenges that shape his character, set against the lively context of Elizabethan England, and prepares for his forthcoming journeys filled with military exploits and exploration of the New World.
