Captured and Tortured: Trilogy of Terror

Get it here

Here within is a collection of fifty-seven accounts of first-hand narratives of people captured by Indians in colonial times and lived to tell their story of the life, customs, kindness, and cruelties of Native Americans. Various torture methods by different tribes are described in graphic detail by people that witnessed these horrible atrocities. Indian raids on small farming communities were bloody and gruesome events with young and old stripped, clubbed, and scalped. Women were captured and taken to Canada, where they were sold as slaves to the French. While many were treated harshly by the Indians, some were treated with much kindness by their captors. Journals from colonists captured by the Indians provide unprecedented accounts of how the Indians lived and how they existed on the run from the British army and the much-feared Mohawk Indians. They witnessed the colonial men captured and the cruelties, torture, and death in the most horrendous manners in their travels. They were only able to endure these torments by their unwavering belief that God would see them through their terrible ordeal. It is a true testament to the power of faith that sustained and eventually delivered them from their captivity. Warning: This book described acts of terrible violence and should not be read by anyone under eighteen.
