One opinion:
He wasn't important. The story goes he landed and save the colony. Not true. He lied in his book and was hated in by the men in the fort. To get rid of of him gunpowder was sprinkled on him and lit. He suffered severe burns and to go home to England.
Another opinion:
Various historical sources state that Captain John Smith saved the colony by obtaining food from the indigenous peoples and by dictatorial policies, including a rule that those who did not work did not eat. The veracity of his heroic claims have been challenged and restored various times. Please see the link in the discussion below for an interesting read.
