4.0 out of 5 stars Misery yet hope!, May 25, 2010

This review is from: A Narrative of the Captivity of Mrs. Johnson, Together with A Narrative of James Johnson: Indian Captive of Charlestown, New Hampshire (Heritage Classic) (Paperback)

Mary's story is one misery yet hope. Mary was captured by Native Americans in an attack on a small Massachusetts town during want we call King Philip's War." The more I read about this "unremembered" war the more interesting it becomes. I recommend first reading one of the many books on the history of this time period and then read Mary's account. It will help you to better understand what some of her references refer to.
