A Narrative of the Captivity and Restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781545592670)

Mary Rowlandson (c. 1637 - January 5, 1711) was a colonial American woman who was captured by Native Americans during King Philip's War and held for 11 weeks before being ransomed. In 1682, six years after her ordeal, A Narrative of the Captivity and Restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson was published. This text is considered a seminal American work in the literary genre of captivity narratives. It went through four printings in 1682 and garnered readership both in the New England colonies and in England, leading it to be considered by some of the first American "bestseller".
