内容説明
Nominated for the National Book Award， this book is set in colonial Massachusetts where， in 1704， a French and Indian war party descended on the village of Deerfield， abducting a Puritan minister and his children. Although John Williams was eventually released， his daughter horrified the family by staying with her captors and marrying a Mohawk husband.
From Publishers Weekly
The armed conflicts of the 18th century between the English colonies in North America and the French settlements that stretched into Canada were fought with the support of Native American allies. Demos， a Yale history professor ( Entertaining Satan: Witchcraft and the Culture of Early New England )， draws on primary source material to provide a perceptive analysis of the cultural encounters that occurred between combatants by detailing the experiences of the John Williams family. Williams， a Puritan minister， and his family were captured in 1704 in their Massachusetts home by a group of Frenchmen and Native Americans， and forced to march to Canada. Although he and four of his children were later released， his wife died on the march and his daughter， Eunice， became a convert to Catholicism and married a Native American. Despite the ongoing attempts of her father and brother to persuade Eunice to return to Massachusetts， she would agree only to brief visits and lived in a Native American settlement until her death at the age of 95.
