Adventures of Captain John Smith - Essay Example

John Smith was granted permission by Prince Charles to name the Maine and Massachusetts Bay area of New England. However, after suffering from burns from gunpowder he returned to England to receive treatment, never to return to the ‘new world’ again. He died at the age of 51 years (Apva.org).

The site portrays topics on colonization, the war for independence, business-for-profit motive through the Virginia company as well as diseases. There is a picture of Smith to the right of the page and above it at the top right corner, there is an artifact looking like a broken medallion. The medallion has a picture that looks like that of Smith. On the other hand, there are extra links that offer more information about Jamestown, its history, resources, publications, findings, and exhibits. The interactive features of this site include a platform for support, the contact information of the site creators, and a video link at the bottom of the page.

The site has interesting graphics that are user-friendly. The information is very enlighting and it offers an insight into the history that many people are not aware of. However, I fail to understand how Smith was a survivor in every extreme situation he was in. The most interesting things are how Smith survived and how he was a lucky man to have beautiful women and more so how adventurous and a leader he was. However, there is bias in the information that Smith was a boastful man while no literature can clearly account for how he was. Conclusively, the site is educative and interesting and I would recommend for others explore it.
