Book excerpt: Mary Rowlandson, a Minister's wife in New England as it says underwent a cruel and inhumane treatment from the Indians that took her captive. This is a story of sorrow and pain, of faith and truth, of tears and reflections, and of grief and hopes. The Indians poured their wrath and anger against this helpless small community.As she tells us in her narrative, in the midst of it all, miraculously, one of these salvages struck her as a lost star or beam of light by offering her a Bible he had from the Medfield fight, where they committed sacking and looting. He took it from his basket and gave it to Mary and she interpreted it as a gift from her merciful God in the middle of this valley of darkness.

Book excerpt: On February 10, 1676, the settlement of Lancaster, in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, was attacked by Native Americans. Native Americans set houses on fire and opened fire on British settlers, killing several and injuring more. They took many of the survivors captive, including Mary Rowlandson and her three children. Mary and her youngest son are among the wounded, while others in her family, including her brother-in-law, are killed. Native Americans take survivors captured from their settlement to the desert. Rowlandson and her youngest daughter, Sarah, can stay together, but their two elders, Joseph and Mary, are separated. After spending a night in a nearby town, the Native Americans with their captives venture into the desert. When injured, the trip is difficult for Rowlandson and his daughter. They arrive at an Indian settlement called Wenimesset, where Rowlandson meets another captive named Robert Pepper who tries to help the new captives. After staying in Wenimesset for about a week, Rowlandson's injured daughter, Sarah, dies. Rowlandson is sold to another Indian who is related to King Philip by marriage. The dead daughter of Rowlandson is buried, and she is allowed to visit her eldest daughter, Mary, who is also detained in Wenimesset, and her eldest son, who is allowed to visit from a nearby Indian settlement. The Indians give Rowlandson a Bible in which he finds great hope. After attacking another city, the Native Americans decide to go north, and Rowlandson separates again from his family and from the "friends" she has created. Native Americans, along with Rowlandson, began to move quickly through the forest, as the British Army was nearby. They reach the Baquaug River and cross it with the British soldiers behind. However, the British can not cross, and Rowlandson and the Indians continue to the northwest. They arrive at the Connecticut River and plan to meet King Philip, but the English explorers are present so they must disperse and hide.

Book excerpt: Narrative of the Captivity and Restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson....Mary (White) Rowlandson was a colonial American woman who was captured during an attack by Native Americans during King Philip's War and held ransom for 11 weeks and 5 days. After being released, she wrote A Narrative of the Captivity and Restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson, also known as The Sovereignty and Goodness of God. On the tenth of February 1675, came the Indians with great numbers upon Lancaster: their first coming was about sunrising; hearing the noise of some guns, we looked out; several houses were burning, and the smoke ascending to heaven. There were five persons taken in one house; the father, and the mother and a sucking child, they knocked on the head; the other two they took and carried away alive. There were two others, who being out of their garrison upon some occasion were set upon; one was knocked on the head, the other escaped; another there was who running along was shot and wounded, and fell down; he begged of them his life, promising them money (as they told me) but they would not hearken to him but knocked him in head, and stripped him naked, and split open his bowels. Another, seeing many of the Indians about his barn, ventured and went out, but was quickly shot down. There were three others belonging to the same garrison who were killed; the Indians getting up upon the roof of the barn, had advantage to shoot down upon them over their fortification. Thus these murderous wretches went on, burning, and destroying before them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enthralling generations of readers, the narrative of capture by Native Americans is arguably the first American literary form dominated by the experiences of women. The ten selections in this anthology span the early history of this country (1682-1892) and range in literary style from fact-based narrations to largely fictional, spellbinding adventure stories. The women are variously victimized, triumphant, or, in the case of Mary Jemison, permantently transculturated. This collection includes well known pieces such as Mary Rowlandson's "A True History" (1682), Cotton Mather's version of Hannah Dunstan's infamous captivity and escape (after scalping her captors!), and the "Panther Captivity", as well as lesser known texts. As Derounian-Stodola demonstrates in the introduction, the stories also raise questions about the motives of their (often male) narrators and promoters, who in many cases embellish melodrama to heighten anti-British and anti-Indian propaganda, shape the tales for ecclesiastical purposes, or romanticize them to exploit the growing popularity of sentimental fiction in order to boost sales.
