About This Item
Somerville, NJ: Clark S. Yowell, 1928. Octavo. 15p. A scarce Indian captivities detailing John Stockwell's captivity by the Wachuset Indians. A harrowing account as other members of the tribe desired to kill him, meanwhile they kept him alive while forcing him to march with bare feet over frozen lakes, often starving along with the Indians, finally after they captured a raccoon, they ate the meat and forced him to eat the grease which made him sick. He nearly died but as the French and Indians negotiated, he was released back to his friends in Deerfield. A fascinating first hand account. Not in Howes. Bound in printed paper wraps, stapled, minute wear near staples. Near fine.
