Description
On February 10, 1675, a group of Narragansett Native Americans attacked the settlement of Lancaster, located in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. They set fire to homes and businesses and shot many of the soldiers attempting to protect their families. Before the Native Americans retreated, they captured many of the settlement’s residents, including Mary Rowlandson and her three children. In A Narrative of the Captivity and Restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson, Rowlandson provides details about the attack, her time spent as a hostage, and her eventual release. Injured when she was taken captive, Rowlandson suffered physical pain in addition to sorrow and heartache when her youngest daughter, Sarah, died in captivity. While she struggled to stay alive, she prayed for her other children, Mary and Joseph, who had been taken from her when they left the settlement. In this memoir—one of the first captivity narratives of the time period—Rowlandson provides readers living more than three centuries after her capture with a firsthand account of life as a female captive in a Native American camp. Through her narrative, today’s readers will learn the same lesson as original readers in the seventeenth century: a thin line exists between civilization and savagery.
