Captain John Smith ( 1580 ? - 1631 ) was one of the truly great English explorers, a cartographer of extraordinary talents, the prolific author who made the New World popular - and his own worst enemy. Almost single - handedly he was responsible for the success of the Jamestown colony in Virginia, and his discoveries in New England led directly to the voyage of the Pilgrims and the Puritans.
