About this book
The Stronghold: A Story of Historic Northern Neck of Virginia and Its People is by Miriam Haynie. The text says Smith was fed so well with bread and venison that would have served 20 men that he believed he was being fattened to be eaten later on. The text says that Powhatan's daughter, Pocahontas, according to Smith, saved the day by thrusting herself between him and the up-raised club.
The text asks how the Northern Neck looked to Captain John Smith on his first visit there, and answers that it looked just like the rest of the Chesapeake Bay country, “being a plaine wildernes as God first made it.” The text says Mary had enough income for her needs, so she was more fortunate than most orphans of that time. The text says that in 1726 Mary's life was again saddened by the death of her brother-in-law, Samuel Bonum, who in his will left her “a young gray dapple horse.” The text says that while at Sandy Point Mary attended Yeocomico Church.
