I’m from the UK but both my girls studied English Literature until 18 then one at University. I always bought, if available, the study guide, audiobook, tickets for Shakespeare (we are lucky to live in London and Shakespeare is compulsory), later on bought podcasts and video/DVD. All prior to UA-cam. Everyone learns in different ways and one of my girls is on the autistic spectrum so anything to help follow, understand and digest a book we gave a go. She passed without learning support which was not available so 👍. Anything that helps you, which you are willing to try, is a bonus.
After trading a few of these stories of captives among the American Indians, one must admit that their religiosity if not their religion allowed them to persevere. Strong immigrant stock... With our distancing ourselves from religion- throughout the world over- I think we loose some of that resilience borne out of faith in something greater than ourselves to hold on to during times of hardship.
Thank you for reading this to me, I have the book and was trying to read it but need new glasses and it was such a struggle enjoyed listening to you read, very relaxing.
Thanks for this, our family, the Whitcomb's were there in Lancaster and were spared all except for Hannah, who was at the Joslin's farm that day. They all died I think except the father, who was out tending the fields.
I am directly descended from Metacomet ( King Philip ), son of Massasoit (Grand Sachem of the Wampanoags). King Philip's daughter Ann, married an Englishman, John Starkweather.
From my personal research on the subject of Metacomet...I was actually quite fascinated by his personal accounts on his reasons of why he conducted such actions during the King's Phillips War.
It's peculiar, I feel, how people who profess to be so godly do not comment on their own treachery,unabashed racism taken out on the people who a few years earlier saved them from starvation.
After reading several such accounts, I have a problem with the idea of noble savage. It seems the tribes who had the most resources and practiced some agriculture, stayed in one place predominantly, had the more civilized cultures. They saw the white men as just another tribe, but they also succumbed to modern conveniences like guns, ready made cloth and clothing, flour. Not many were very civilized in terms of law , but it's the kind of thing that survival forces people into, especially with a lifespan of 30 or 40 years. It's the undercooked food that gets to me most.
How can any sane person, Christian or not, witness almost everyone they know and love being brutally murdered in front of them and think to themselves "Well, I skipped church a couple of times so I probably deserve this."
These are great, informative stories. It’s so hard listening how whites referenced Indians back then tho. For one, they weren’t godless. Our spirituality connects us to all things around us. Personally, I think these were purposefully put into the books to frighten other white readers. If you read other books on captivity you can even see where certain parts of the stories contradict themselves.
The utter horror Mary endured is mind boggling. Being captured by the savages, and they sure were savage, being injured, her baby dying in her lap, starving forced marched badly injured, worried sick about her other children and on and on. Being raped and humiliated just to survive is not mentioned. The horror is stark.
Eastern Woodlands natives did not sexually assault captives. Captives were ritually adopted into a native family as a replacement for a dead relative. Raping them would have violated the incest taboo. No captivity narrative, no first hand contemporary documentary evidence even among those most hostile to natives, that relate the very real violence done in the native culture of war, ever mention that, because it did not happen.
Ah yes those 'noble savages' imagine the hatred they aroused. They were very fortunate not to be completely wiped out yet still they try to take the high moral ground and play the victim. Just animals.
What the white people did to the Indians was worst . The Indians at least let some live. Not one life was left after the white people got through . Whole villages gone. Whole tribes gone. Makes me sick.
Lori Clark You should realize the Europeans waged war on their native American enemies exactly as they did to their European enemies. The Native Americans on the other hand waged war on the colonists in the same manner as they warred against other native tribes.That soon the frontier colonists waged war on the Indians using Indian methods is not surprising at all. It is meaningless for a 21st century person to judge 17th century Europeans by a different standard than that used with 17th century Indians.
@@robbieevans6536 Yeah just ignore the churches with indigenous children buried underneath Europeans are the true heathens.This isn’t even their land to fight for.
@@johnschools6617 the truth is Europeans should have stayed in Europe.They even buried indigenous children . Native Americans fought for their territory and Europeans fought for riches it is not even remotely the same thing .
Too much preaching. I started to feel like I was at a boring church service. Finally, I ran out of patience, despite my utter fascination for such an account...lol.
Bit of a waste of time listening to an account like this and expecting it be devoid of religious connotations. It was an an enormous part of their lives, and a large reason they survive captivity like this.
@@praetoriandorn3154 Yes indeed, and I was not surprised, regarding the incessant religious exhortations, though after a while it became an endurance test, which I failed. But it's a fine example of the psychological power of believing. My personal hunch is that if there's a God, it's not of the nature of a being that hears prayers. So it's unlikely I'd get far in this poor survivors waking nightmare.
Her child dies , her 10 year old daughter alone with other captures and brief meetings with her son . She doesn’t see how much kindness she was shown but bores on about she reunited with husband . She twists biblical verses to her purpose. She is the ill educated savage.

Thanks for posting this! This makes my learning easier! 👍🏻👍🏻
God bless your soul
Thank you so much
Thank you very much!
thank you so much for doing this
Thank you, I would much rather listen to this than actually have to read it all.
Thanks for making this. Reading it for class is like water torture. This made it so much easier to understand. My grade will be better because of it.

Where my English Majors at
Superb double entendre, superb...
No but I have to read this for my highschool class
Woop woop

Here! For my American Lit 1 course, specifically.
It's amazing how people can survive such horrible starvation and other sufferings.

Thanks for narrating! this reading is brutal!

Vickie C hello how many pages does the book have? It would be great help if you can tell me that
Thanks for this, our family, the Whitcomb's were there in Lancaster and were spared all except for Hannah, who was at the Joslin's farm that day. They all died I think except the father, who was out tending the fields.
Thank you for saving me!
A written description of what this book is about would be appreciated!
Do some research
I am directly descended from Metacomet ( King Philip ), son of Massasoit (Grand Sachem of the Wampanoags). King Philip's daughter Ann, married an Englishman, John Starkweather.
That’s interesting to know
Okay poopyfield
Do you ever have unwanted thoughts about torturing people? Just joking...I think. lol

this is a life saver! thank you so much!!!!

Guilt is a tool of organized religion, the human condition proves vulnerable. But love of God and faith prevails.
Yeah....too much fanaticism here, for me too.
I must have missed the part about skipping church a couple of times. I don't think you're understanding the comparison of pride to humility.

That is not true tribe vs tribe .. But its was not fair fight. world history 600 AD good place to start Constantinople . Just the way it was

"Heathen Savages" is the way the Indians were described by people of those times...and after listening to this narrative , I tend to agree.

A rather perverse interpretation of murder and enslavement.
Are you serious? You think she should be grateful for small gestures of kindness from the people who murdered her family and kidnapped her.
