Information on Captivity Narratives
.... "The ongoing interest in the captivity narrative is reflected in the great popularity of John Demos, The Unredeemed Captive: A Family Story from Early America (1994). Roy H. Pearce, “The Significance of the Captivity Narrative,” American Literature (March 1947), is the best account of the evolution of the form. An alternative analysis is Phillips Carleton, “The Indian Captivity,” American Literature (May 1943). R. W. G. Vail, The Voice of the Old Frontier (1940), covers captivity accounts from 1542 to 1800. Anthologies of selected captivity narratives are Frederick Drimmer, ed., Scalps and ‘Tomahawks: Narratives of Indian Captivity (1961); H. H. Peckham, ed., Captured by Indians: True Tales of Pioneer Survivors (1954); and Alden T. Vaughan and Edward W. Clark eds., Puritans Among the Indians: Accounts of Captivity and Redemption, 1676–1724 (1981). See also Gary Ebersole, Captured by Texts: Puritan to Postmodern Images of Indian Captivity (1995); June Namias, White Captives: Gender and Ethnicity on the American Frontier (1993); and C. C. Rister, Border Captives: The Traffic in Prisoners by Southern Plains Indians, 1835–1875 (1940)."
