Puritans Among the Indians: Accounts of Captivity and Redemption, 1676-1724Alden T.

Puritans among the Indians presents, in modern spelling, the best of the New England narratives. These both delineate the social and ideological struggle between the captors and the settlers, and constitute a dramatic rendition of the Puritans' spiritual struggle for redemption. |
