Larimer was a 19th-century American pioneer and memoirist whose brief but powerful account of captivity and survival on the western frontier stands as a rare firsthand narrative by a woman. In 1864, while traveling westward with her family, Larimer and her young son were captured by Native American warriors during a violent raid near the Little Blue River in Nebraska Territory. Her husband was killed, and she endured a traumatic ordeal before ultimately escaping captivity and returning to safety. Determined to share her experience and honor the resilience of women on the frontier, Larimer self-published her account in the years following the incident.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Capture and Escape of Sarah Larimer\u003c\/em\u003e, first published in 1870, recounts her gripping journey from sudden violence and captivity to her eventual escape and survival against overwhelming odds. Written in a clear, unflinching style, Larimer's narrative not only chronicles the hardships of her experience but also reflects the courage, maternal instinct, and fortitude required to endure and overcome such a trial. Her memoir offers valuable insight into the dangers of pioneer life and the role of women in the westward expansion of the United States. As both a historical document and a compelling human story, it remains a powerful testament to survival and the frontier spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sarah Larimer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1667305018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781667305011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Antiquarius\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/11\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.39d","brand":"Sarah Larimer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48439958536447,"sku":"9781667305011","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_94973623-d151-43dd-814a-b823b325fbde.jpg?v=1777179868","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-capture-and-escape-of-sarah-larimer-9781667305011","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
