Publisher's Synopsis

Narrative Of The Captivity, Sufferings, And Removes, Of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson: Who Was Taken Prisoner By The Indians At The Destruction Of Lancaster In 1675 is a memoir written by Mary Rowlandson, an American colonial woman who was taken captive by Native American Indians during King Philip's War in 1675. The book was originally published in 1682 and was later republished in 1853. The book recounts Rowlandson's captivity and her experiences living with the Native Americans for several months. She describes the harsh living conditions, the constant threat of violence, and the emotional toll of being separated from her family. The book also provides insight into the cultural differences between the Native Americans and the colonists, as well as the religious beliefs of both groups. Rowlandson's narrative is a valuable historical document that sheds light on the experiences of colonial women during the early years of American settlement. It is also a testament to the resilience and strength of the human spirit in the face of adversity. Overall, Narrative Of The Captivity, Sufferings, And Removes, Of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson is a compelling and important work of American literature.To Which Is Appended A Century Sermon, Preached At The First Parish In Lancaster, May 28, 1753, By Reverend Timothy Harrington.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
