Synopsis Held Captive by Indians by : Richard VanDerBeets
Among the early white settlers, accounts of Indian captivities and massacres became America's first literature of catharsis - a means by which a population that disapproved of fiction and play-acting could satisfy its appetite for stories about other people's misfortunes. This collection of unaltered captivity narratives, first published in 1973, remains an invaluable source of information for historians and ethnologists, providing a fascinating glimpse of a vanished era. For this edition, VanDerBeets has written a new preface discussing the proliferation of recent scholarship about captivity narratives, especially those written by women.

Synopsis Indian Captive by : Zadock Steele
Excerpt from Indian Captive: Or a Narrative of the Captivity and Sufferings of Zadock Steele As time passes, and our stock of information grows, we are enabled to see the character of the Indian in a truer perspective, and to understand it better, even though we may not be able to excuse, or even extenuate, its grosser faults. A brief account of the Indians with whom our ancestors struggled in the early days may nor be out of place in this introduction, and may aid to a broader understanding of the story here related. The Indians whose daily lives are here brought into review before us belonged mostly to the Algonquian fam ily, by far the largest, in respect at least to extent of ter ritory occupied, of any of the families of American Ind ians. Their habitat extended from Labrador westwardthrough British America to the Rocky Mountains, and southward to South Carolina. The most famous of the Indians whose stories are familiar to us from our early history, as Pocahontas, King Philip, Pontiac, and oth ers, were Algonquians. This family was advanced slight ly above the state of barbarism - their chief marks of incipient civilization being the raising of corn and the making of pottery. In numbers they were, according to civilized ideas, very few in relation to the territory inhabited; but it must be remembered that although North America was inhabited over its entire surface by Indian tribes, they were forced by their mode of liv ing - chiefly by the chase - to scatter thinly over a vast territory, so that there were probably never more than half a million in the aggregate.

Synopsis Narrative of the Captivity and Restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson by : Rowlandson
Classic Books Library presents this brand new edition of the “Narrative of the Captivity and Restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson” (1682). Mary Rowlandson (c. 1637-1711), nee Mary White, was born in Somerset, England. Her family moved to the Massachusetts Bay Colony in the United States, and she settled in Lancaster, Massachusetts, marrying in 1656. It was here that Native Americans attacked during King Philip’s War, and Mary and her three children were taken hostage. This text is a profound first-hand account written by Mary detailing the experiences and conditions of her capture, and chronicling how she endured the 11 weeks in the wilderness under her Native American captors. It was published six years after her release, and explores the themes of mortal fragility, survival, faith and will, and the complexities of human nature. It is acknowledged as a seminal work of American historical literature.

Synopsis Masters of the Middle Waters by : Jacob F. Lee
A riveting account of the conquest of the vast American heartland that offers a vital reconsideration of the relationship between Native Americans and European colonists, and the pivotal role of the mighty Mississippi. America’s waterways were once the superhighways of travel and communication. Cutting a central line across the landscape, with tributaries connecting the South to the Great Plains and the Great Lakes, the Mississippi River meant wealth, knowledge, and power for those who could master it. In this ambitious and elegantly written account of the conquest of the West, Jacob Lee offers a new understanding of early America based on the long history of warfare and resistance in the Mississippi River valley. Lee traces the Native kinship ties that determined which nations rose and fell in the period before the Illinois became dominant. With a complex network of allies stretching from Lake Superior to Arkansas, the Illinois were at the height of their power in 1673 when the first French explorers—fur trader Louis Jolliet and Jesuit priest Jacques Marquette—made their way down the Mississippi. Over the next century, a succession of European empires claimed parts of the midcontinent, but they all faced the challenge of navigating Native alliances and social structures that had existed for centuries. When American settlers claimed the region in the early nineteenth century, they overturned 150 years of interaction between Indians and Europeans. Masters of the Middle Waters shows that the Mississippi and its tributaries were never simply a backdrop to unfolding events. We cannot understand the trajectory of early America without taking into account the vast heartland and its waterways, which advanced and thwarted the aspirations of Native nations, European imperialists, and American settlers alike.

Synopsis Buried in Shades of Night by : Billy J. Stratton
"Billy J. Stratton's critical examination of Mary Rowlandson's 1682 publication, The Soveraignty and Goodness of God, reconsiders the role of the captivity narrative in American literary history and national identity. With pivotal new research into Puritan minister Increase Mather's influence on the narrative, Stratton calls for a reconsideration of past scholarly work on the genre"--Provided by publisher.
