The Indian Captivity Narrative: A Woman's ViewFrances Roe Kestler Presents the narratives by women who were captured by Indians--from 17th-century New England to late 19th-century Colorado. In her introduction, the editor defines the genre and presents the rationale for her choices in the book. The next four chapters contain complete narratives (such as M.W. Rowlandson's during King Philip's War) and excerpts from narratives about captivity in many different Indian societies of North America. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR |
