The Yale University Press produced a series of short (two to four-reel) pictures, collectively called "Chronicles of America," which the company released through Pathe. This was the second of the series and it takes place in the early 17th century, when the Indians and the Spaniards were both threatening Great Britain's control of Virginia. Dolores Cassinelli plays the Indian maiden Pocahontas, who is held prisoner by the British high Marshall so that her father will agree to release British hostages.
