Johnny Smith and Poker-Huntas
Short Information
Notes:	In reality, the cartoon contains many historical goofs apart from the anachronisms normally expected in such a deliberate farce. The real Captain Smith, who arrived in present-day Virginia in 1607, was totally unconnected with the Mayflower, which disembarked at Massachusetts Bay in 1620. No actual romance ever existed between him and Pocahontas, who married John Rolfe. But it is unclear whether the cartoon depiction displayed confusion on Hogan's part or whether it was a deliberate distortion of history.
