Among the pioneering men and women who pushed westward across the America in sear of new lands and new lives, a certain number lived through incredible ordeals as captives of the Indians.  Those who survived and recorded their stories left a legacy of eyewitness narratives that defy belief.  Fifteen of these dramatic firsthand accounts are reprinted here from rare volumes and old manuscripts. Captured by the Indians is a fascinating historical record and revealing picture of Indian culture and frontier life.
