Authentic adventures of a Captive! Unbelievable story!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Scoouwa: James Smith's Indian Captivity Narrative (Hardcover)
Very authentic insights into native-american life and the
life of a captive. Best parts: How James learns native-
american knowledge of the forest to save himself when he
became lost. (Treetops point south toward the sun, there
are more branches on south part of certain trees, etc).
He spends a night inside a hollow tree during a fierce
blizzard and survives. Unbelievable story! How did these
captives ever survive such ordeals? READ THIS BOOK!
A good way to gain insight into native-american culture!

This review is from: Scoouwa: James Smith's Indian Captivity Narrative (Hardcover)
I think Scoouwa is a must read for anyone looking for a better understanding of 18th century America. James Smith's writteng is easy to read. For me it is new view of the conflict between the native americans and the english colonies.

The best of its type,

This review is from: Scoouwa: James Smith's Indian Captivity Narrative (Hardcover)
James Smith's captivity narrative about his capture and life among the Canawaugha Indians is the best I've read among this gendre of literature. Smith presents his captors as human beings making their way in a beautiful, but harsh environment.
His prose is surprisingly clear, lively and straight forward for a mid-eighteenth century writer.
