Product Details
Among the pioneering men and women who pushed westward across America in search of new land and new lives, a certain number lived through incredible ordeals as captives of the Indians. Those who survived and recorded their stories left a legacy of eyewitness narratives that defy belief. Fifteen of these dramatic firsthand accounts are reprinted here from rare volumes and old manuscripts.
After years of painstaking research, author and editor Frederick Drimmer selected the present stories as the most interesting and unusual from hundreds he found in rare-book rooms and in the special collections of great libraries. Unforgettable true accounts tell of grisly tortures, bloody conflicts, relentless pursuits, miraculous escapes....even the adoption of captives into Indian tribes. By interference, the chronicles also offer a revealing picture of Indian culture - love, marriage, witchcraft, burial rituals, and much more - as well as a rare glimpse of the hardships of frontier life and the forces that shaped America's pioneer spirit.
