Answer 1

Answer:

Powhatan captured and imprisoned John Smith in late 1607 and according to one account, threatened to have him killed. However, within a month, Smith was free, back in Jamestown, and had concluded a deal by which Powhatan would provide the colonists with food.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Smith also led the first English explorations of the Chesapeake Bay and was almost killed by a ray on the first of the two expeditions. Smith’s strong leadership helped the colony survive and grow but also made him enemies within the fort. As he slept in a boat in the river one night, Smith was badly injured by a mysterious gunpowder explosion.
