Captive Histories : English, French, And Native Narratives Of The 1704 Deerfield Raid

Attribution
edited by Evan Haefeli and Kevin Sweeney
Publication Details
Book, University of Massachusetts Press, 2006
Links
- Table of contents
Description
Texts range from one of the most famous early American captivity narratives, John Williams?s The Redeemed Captive, to the records of French soldiers and clerics, to little-known Abenaki and Mohawk stories of the raid that emerged out of their communities? Although the oft-reprinted “Redeemed Captive” stands at the core of this collection, it is juxtaposed to less familiar accounts of captivity composed by other Deerfield residents: Quentin Stockwell, Daniel Belding, Joseph Petty, Joseph Kellogg, and the teenaged Stephen Williams.
