Booktalk:
Imagine you lived in the wilds in western Pennsylvania in pre-revolutionary America. It would be a harsh, dangerous place. No TVs or computers, few neighbors and friends, just family and hard work, and a constant fear of Indian marauders. And then the unthinkable happens – you and your entire family are captured and taken hostage. After a long, long hike, only you are taken along with the Indians – the remaining captives, including your entire family, are left behind to be massacred the following day. So begins your life with the Seneca tribe of the Iroquois. Do you run? Do you resist? Do you learn their ways? Do you fight? Enter the world of Mary Jamison, the true story of an Indian Captive, by Lois Lenski.
