In the untrue story of John Smith and Pocahontas the author states that sometimes the best history is trumped by a good story how does the author support this line of reasoning?

In writing The General History Of Virginia, John Smith hoped to turn public opinion against the Native American population, by using inflated and heated rhetoric about them. Hope this helps.
