The Pocahontas Statue at Historic Jamestown, VA
Erected in 1922 this statue of Pocahontas was created by William Partridge. The larger-than-life Pocahontas statue is one of the most famous images of Jamestown Island. Its hands are worn a bright copper color because so many visitors have held them while posing for photos. The statue has appeared on postcards for generations, though it features historical inaccuracies such as clothing more fitting for a Plains Indian woman.
