On the raw edge of the colonial New England frontier, entire families vanished in the night, carried north into an unfamiliar world. Here are the true accounts of those New England captives in Canada during the Old French and Indian Wars, told from documents, letters, and family tradition. Every detail comes from records. Charlotte Alice Baker gathers a remarkable captivity narrative collection, tracing men, women, and children taken in Indian raids on New England and carried into the villages, towns, and communities of the French Canada colonial period. The result is both vivid colonial American history and an intimate tapestry of colonial frontier family stories, invaluable to anyone drawn to French and Indian War history or to the classic Mary Rowlandson narrative tradition. For readers tracing New England family genealogies, or using colonial sources for genealogy research reference and homeschool American history, these carefully reconstructed lives open paths into forgotten kinship lines and borderland communities. Long cherished by historians and local antiquarians, it stands as a key source for understanding faith, identity, and survival on the seventeenth- and eighteenth-century frontier. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. More than simple colonial narrative, it speaks to anyone fascinated by the fragile boundaries between cultures, empires, and families.
