On the raw edge of the 18th-century American frontier, safety could vanish in a heartbeat. These stories are brutally direct. Affecting History Of The Dreadful Distresses Of Frederic Manheim's Family brings together a stark Indian captivity narrative collection. As a frontier captivity narrative collection, it records how ordinary settler families were swept into sudden violence, captivity and loss. From the dreadful distresses of Frederic Manheim's household to the sufferings of John Corbly's family, from solitary encounters between a white man and two savages to the extraordinary bravery of women and the adventures and depositions of frontier figures such as Captain Isaac Stewart, Massey Herbeson, Peter Wilkinson and Jackson Johonnot, this early American history book bears witness to pioneer family massacre stories and the brutal realities of survival on the frontier. Assembled during the early republic, and centred on Pennsylvania frontier massacres and the destruction of settlements at Wyoming, this volume stands as primary source frontier history, revealing how settler and Native conflicts were experienced, narrated and remembered. For American history buffs and colonial history students, and for readers of accounts similar to Mary Rowlandson, it offers unvarnished glimpses into the fears, prejudices, courage and endurance that shaped the 18th century American frontier. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure for anyone who values authentic voices from the contested borderlands of early North America.
