Description

Colonial America endured a clash of cultures. Editor Kathleen Shelby Boyett has gathered captivity narratives from the Colonial period in America, choosing each for its variety in the genre. Here the reader will find stories of men, women, and children, some told in first-person accounts, some told by relatives, and still others told by early Puritan ministers. One story is even told with poetry. Some of the captivities were blessedly short and others became the whole of the captive's life. Some escaped their captivity through a harrowing journey, and others were ransomed or simply allowed to leave. Some captives were embittered by their experience and others gained a new understanding of the Native Americans who captured them; while one even found love in her heart for her captor. The forward in this edition makes it clear that this work is meant to present both sides of the story; both the brutalities of captivity for which European settlers were unprepared and the provocation that caused the Native Americans to resort to the capture of settlers. The accounts in this volume are highly descriptive of life in the Colonial period in America and are dramatic enough to be an exciting armchair adventure into the past.
