The Unredeemed Captive

The Unredeemed Captive tells the story of the 1704 raid on Deerfield, Massachusetts, where a French and Indian war party abducted Puritan minister John Williams and his family.

The book focuses on Eunice Williams, who was captured at age four and later chose to stay with her Mohawk captors, adopting their culture and marrying a Mohawk man.

This narrative explores themes of colonial politics, cultural identity, and the complex relationships between colonists and Native Americans during that era.
