The Captivity Of Elizabeth Hanson

A Quaker Kidnapped By Native Americans In 1725

BY SAMUEL BOWNAS

Brief Description:
"On the 27th of the sixth month, called August, 1725, my husband and all our menservants being abroad, eleven Indians, armed with tomahawks and gun came furiously into the house." Thus begins the story of the captivity of Quaker Elizabeth Hanson, "taken in substance from her own mouth" by Samuel Bownas. This book contains the complete text of Bownas' 1760 edition, with a twenty page introduction and notes designed to explain the background to this true story.
