Her family was killed, but Mary was traded to two Seneca sisters who adopted her to replace a slain brother.

White Captives
Author: June Namias
Publisher: UNC Press Books
ISBN: 0807876097
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 401
Book Description
White Captives offers a new perspective of Indian-white coexistence on the American frontier through analysis of historical, anthropological, political, and literary materials. --> Namias shows that visual, literary, and historical accounts of the capture of Euro-Americans by Indians are commentaries on the uncertain boundaries of gender, race, and culture during the colonial Indian Wars, the American Revolution, and the Civil War. She compares the experiences and representations of male and female captives over time and on successive frontiers and examines the narratives of captives Jane McCrea, Mary Jemison, and Sarah Wakefield.
