Yes, he was its third leader. When the first settlement was established in 1607, captain Christopher Newport may have intended to hang Smith for interference, but found that Smith was designated by the sealed charter as a head of the colony. Newport, Smith, and Edward Wingfield were among the leaders of the first group. He led the colony in 1608 but returned to England due to injury, missing the disastrous winter starvation of 1609-1610.

Indeed! He explored through the Chesapeake Bay because he wanted all of it's beauty and natural riches in more that 3,000 miles. He also explored Virginia. That was his destination at 1st until he met the Powhatan Indians & Pocahantas. So, John Smith is a very interesting man indeed!

yes john smith did discover James town

I apologize for the ill-informed contributor above. John Smith did not find Jamestown. However, he did become its leader and was the one to turn it into a successful civilization.
