About this product
| Product Information | |
| Nominated for the National Book Award and winner of the Francis Parkman Prize. The setting for this haunting and encyclopedically researched work of history is colonial Massachusetts, where English Puritans first endeavoured 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, The 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 gilfs of culture and belief, and sometimes crossed over. | |

| Reviews | "Fascinating and alluring in the way the best writing on history can be."-- The Observer "Powerful and useful. . . .Demos has achieved the kind of balancing act that historians constantly strive for but seldom achieve."-- New Republic "This thought-provoking study explores the multiple communities to which apparently simple people belonged and how their domestic lives were overtaken by political events. Fascinating, lively, and especially timely to an age struggling to understand the implications of its own cross-cultural encounters."-- Kirkus "A masterpiece...recovering for us the poignant story of lives and families shattered and then painfully knitted together again in the complex cultural encounters between English, French, and Mohawk peoples in eighteenth-century America. There is nothing quite like it in our literature. It is a stunning achievement that should change forever the way we write and tell stories about the American past."--William Cronon, "Fascinating and alluring in the way the best writing on history can be."-- The Observer "Powerful and useful. . . .Demos has achieved the kind of balancing act that historians constantly strive for but seldom achieve."-- New Republic "This thought-provoking study explores the multiple communities to which apparently simple people belonged and how their domestic lives were overtaken by political events.

The Unredeemed Captive
The story of kidnap and captivity is most interesting but not as easy reading for a young person as I thought it would be. My goal was to interest my grandchildren in their Deerfield ancestor who was carried off to Canada by Indians in the 1600s, and I thought I might hook them on the unredeemed captive who was a young girl.

Fantastic!
I like this book because it shows how you can define yourself and your identity based on your environmental surroundings.
