Publisher's Synopsis
A Narrative of the Captivity and Adventures of John Tanner is a first-hand account of the life and experiences of John Tanner, a United States interpreter who lived among the indigenous tribes of North America for thirty years. The book recounts Tanner's capture as a child by the Shawnee tribe and his subsequent adoption into their society. Tanner's story takes the reader through his life in the wilderness, where he learned the ways of the indigenous people and became fluent in their languages. Tanner's experiences include his time as a fur trader, his encounters with other tribes, and his role as an interpreter for the United States government. The book is a fascinating insight into the life and customs of the indigenous people of North America, and a testament to the resilience and adaptability of the human spirit.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
