A Narrative of the Captivity, Sufferings, and Removes, of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson

Mary Rowlandson faced many remarkable events during her travels. Indians came upon Lancaster on the 10th of February, 1675 at the sunrise. They were shooting guns and burning the houses. Mary Rowlandsen became a prisoner by the Indians and experienced the most wild manners of treatment. A Narrative of the Captivity, sufferings, and Removes describes the most wild and impressive stories of wild nature and barbarity Rowlandsen wrote for her private use. Later she made it public at the desire of her friends and for the benefit of sufferers. The turning point of the narrative is that the author used to say that if the Indians ever come,she would choose rather be killed than be taken alive as a prisoner: but when she saw the daunting weapons of the Indian predators, she chose to go along with them.
