Beschreibung
During an Indian attack on Lancaster during King Philip's War, Mary Rowlandson and her three children were captured by Narraganset Indians on February 10, 1675. Her captivity lasted until May 2, when she was ransomed at Princeton. The money was donated by several citizens of Boston, the colony's capital. The site of her release is known today as Redemption Rock. One of her children did not survive being held hostage, and the other two were temporarily separated from her, but were later released. Captivity and Restoration is in the report a very important subject for M. R., who was a deeply religious woman. Gröls Classics - English Edition
