The Indian Captivity of O.M. Spencer (Abridged, Annotated)

4/5 ( ratings)

This is the true chronicle of the capture and captivity of the nine year old son of a prominent settler in 18th century America. It is articulate, full of observations of Indian life, and has the ring of authenticity.

Edited in 1917 by the well-known historian, Milo Quaife, the memoir covers the time of Spencer's capture, through his eight months with the Indians, to his ransoming and journey back to his family. It is very well written, and the author was frankly expressive of the fears and sorrows he experienced along the way.

Whether your interest is 18th or 19th century history, or captive narratives in general, you'll find this a very satisfying read.

For the first time, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers, tablets, and smartphones.
