All three choices are wrong. John Smith did not write any of them. Smith is one of the earliest settlers in America and his name is now used as the generic name for Americans. He was born in England and travelled to many places until he reached America, specifically in Virginia. He arrived in 1608 and directly started writing A True Relation of Such Occurrences and Accidents of Note As Hath Happened in Virginia but is better known for its shortened title A General History of Virginia, New England, and the Summer Isles. This book is considered to be the very first English book written in America.
