The Unredeemed Captive by John Demos

The Unredeemed Captive by John Demos

The setting for this haunting and encyclopedically researched work of history is colonial Massachusetts, where English Puritans first endeavored to civilize a savage native populace. There, in February 1704, a French and Indian war party descended on the village of Deerfield, abducting a Puritan minister and his children. Although John Williams was eventually released, his daughter horrified the family by staying with her captors and marrying a Mohawk husband.Out of this incident, Bancroft Prize-winning historian John Devos has constructed a gripping narrative that opens a window into North America where English, French, and Native Americans faced one another across gulfs of culture and belief--and sometimes crossed over.
