MARY ROWLANDSON CAPTIVE IN 1675/76. THE OLD TRAIL TO KING PHILIP'S FORT ATSQUAKEAG-. Finally Mary Rowlandson was forced to leave the burning house.

Extractions: Thursday, February 10, A state of alertness prevailed in the town of Lancaster, Massachusetts. Its 50 families were always ready to crowd into the 5 or 6 garrison houses in case of an Amerindian attack. The continual war between King Philip's forces and colonial troops made everyone aware of imminent danger. Joseph Rowlandson, minister to the small frontier town, was in Boston appealing, once again, to the colonial government for protection. His appeal fell on deaf ears; the danger from attack was rated as minor. Amerindians who had been driven from their territory by colonial troops were in desperate need of supplies. Lancaster would have all that was needed and, being undermanned, would not be able to resist the attack effectively. Thus while Reverend Rowlandson appealed for aid, warriors attacked his home and family. Sunrise: Thirty-seven people were housed in the Rowlandson garrison house. Abruptly gun shots were heard, three other houses were under attack. It was not long before the warriors turned to the Rowlandson's house. Amid a flurry of bullets, three men were killed. Suddenly the smell of smoke permeated the inside of the house; the attackers had succeeded in setting fire to it. As the inhabitants came out, the warriors attacked them. Mrs. Rowlandson relates

http://www.univie.ac.at/Anglistik/easyrider/data/ConRowl.htm

Extractions: Mary Rowlandson. Group A: Group B: We found a few passages that we think are important to the understanding of Rowlandson's journey. In the first remove Rowlandson comments on her losses. She says that her children, relations, friends, house, and home are all gone. In the second remove, Rowlandson talks about how she must travel with the Indians into the vast wilderness. This travel enables her to look into herself and strengthen her faith in God. Evidence of her enhanced sense of faith in God is in the third remove where she is sent a Bible and she is amazed at God's mercy. We also thought that the section in the eighth remove where Philip asks Rowlandson to make a shirt for his son was important because she is paid for her work, signifying that she has gained value. These are just some of the passages that we thought showed what Rowlandson went through on her journey. Group C: Our group thought that a significant part of Rowlandson's journey was her move away from her beliefs during her captivity. The first example of this would be in the introduction when she said that before this she thought she would rather die than be taken, but then changed her mind. The second is when her baby dies and she says, "I cannot but take notice how at another time I could not bear to be in the room where any dead person was, but now the case is changed." The third example was when she actually began to use them for her purposes. Example: at the beginning of the thirteenth removal when she makes clothes in exchange for food. Also in the nineteenth removal when she makes clothes for other material possessions. All in all she made a remarkable journey within herself from her beliefs and what she held holy to survival instincts by which she lived through the ordeal.

Extractions: By the mid-17th century, some native American tribes felt they must share their land with white settlers. Others, such as King Philip, did not. Philip was leader of the Wampanoags of southern Massachusetts. He began organizing some of the tribes into what would become a full-fledged rebellion. He did what no one else was able to: To bring together the Pequots, Narragansetts, Nipmucks, Nashaways, Wampanoags and others. In February 1676, Joseph Rowlandson, Lancaster's pastor, went to Boston to get help. But the natives arrived at sunrise. Joseph's wife, Mary was kidnapped, along with 23 others, and 13 people were killed, including Mary's sister, brother-in-law, nieces and nephews. One of Mary's daughters died on the trip. Mary was sold as a slave. Two of her children went to other masters. But Mary, who had brought her Bible and work needles with her, made herself useful by mending clothes. King Philip paid her a shilling to make a shirt for his boy. She received payment in many forms, including a knife or broth. On May 2, 1676, the natives ransomed Mary to some English settlers for 20 pounds at a rock near Mount Wachusett, known today as Redemption Rock.

I had often before this said that if the Indians should come, I should choose rather to be killed by them than taken alive, but when it came to the trial my mind changed; their glittering weapons so daunted my spirit, that I chose rather to go along with those (as I may say) ravenous beasts, than that moment to end my days; and that I may the better declare what happened to me during that grievous captivity, I shall particularly speak of the several removes we had up and down the wilderness. Those seven that were killed at Lancaster the summer before upon a Sabbath day, and the one that was afterward killed upon a weekday, were slain and mangled in a barbarous manner, by one-eyed John, and Marlborough's Praying Indians, which Capt. Mosely brought to Boston, as the Indians told me.

Born around 1637 in Somerset, England, Mary White was the sixth of ten children. Her family immigrated to New England when she was very young, settling first in Salem and later in the frontier town of Lancaster, in the Massachusetts colony. In 1656, Mary married Joseph Rowlandson, the Harvard-educated Puritan minister of Lancaster, and for the next twenty years she occupied the role of a Puritan goodwife, tending to her home and raising children. Her life was radically disrupted on February 10, 1676, when a contingent of Narraganset Indians attacked and burned Lancaster, killing seventeen people and taking twenty-four others (including Rowlandson and three of her children) captive. This incident is the basis of Rowlandson's extraordinary account of her captivity among the Indians, a narrative which was widely read in her own time and which today is often regarded as one of the most significant early texts in the American canon. Rowlandson's tale shaped the conventions of the

Background information on mary rowlandson's Captivity Narrative, by Caroline Gleason.
http://history.hanover.edu/hhr/hhr4-2.htm

Extractions: Mary Rowlandson's Captivity Narrative From the violent and brutal clash between Indians [1], and British colonists in Massachusetts during King Philip's War (1675-6) grew a new literary genre. After their redemption, some colonists who had been prisoners of the Indians wrote autobiographical accounts of their experiences. These captivity narratives developed a large audience, and interest in the narratives continued into the nineteenth century.[2] After her capture and redemption, Mary Rowlandson published what some historians call "America's first best seller," entitled Narrative Of the Captivity and Restoratio;t of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson .[3] Through her use of scripture and portrayal of the relationship between the Indians and Puritan colonists, Rowlandson reinforced the traditional concept of providence preached by the founding Puritans fortv years earlier. Mary Rowlandson relied on her faith in the providence of God to sustain herself during her period of captivity. Indians ransacked the town of Lancaster in February of 1675. Rowlandson, the wife of a minister, was one of twenty-four townspeople taken captive.[4] Separated from her husband and all but one of her children, during her captivity she depended upon a Bible obtained from an Indian's plunder for spiritual survival.[5] Her eventual redemption and reunification with her surviving children and husband affirmed her faith in the providence of her God.

Extractions: FRtR Outlines American Literature Early American and Colonial Period to 1776 > Mary Rowlandson (c.1635-c.1678) Index The earliest woman prose writer of note is Mary Rowlandson, a minister's wife who gives a clear, moving account of her 11-week captivity by Indians during an Indian massacre in 1676. The book undoubtedly fanned the flame of anti-Indian sentiment, as did John Williams's The Redeemed Captive (1707), describing his two years in captivity by French and Indians after a massacre. Such writings as women produced are usually domestic accounts requiring no special education. It may be argued that women's literature benefits from its homey realism and common-sense wit; certainly works like Sarah Kemble Knight's lively Journal (published posthumously in 1825) of a daring solo trip in 1704 from Boston to New York and back escapes the baroque complexity of much Puritan writing.

http://search.eb.com/women/articles/Rowlandson_Mary_White.html

Extractions: (1635?-?), Indian captive Born about 1635 in England, Mary White was brought to America by her parents when she was still a child. They lived in Salem, Massachusetts, until 1653, when they moved to the new frontier village of Lancaster. In 1656 she married the Reverend Joseph Rowlandson, Lancaster's first regular minister, and events of the next 20 years of her life are obscure. In February 1676, during King Philip's War, a party of Indians attacked Lancaster and laid siege to the Rowlandson house, where many townspeople had sought refuge. They overwhelmed the defenders and took 24 captives, including Rowlandson and her three children, one of whom died a week later. Rowlandson was kept a prisoner for three months, during which time she was treated poorly. With her captors she traveled as far as the Connecticut River to the west, and north into what is now New Hampshire. Her own wounds slowly healed, and she became accustomed to her captors' meager diet. Her skill in sewing and knitting earned her rather better treatment than less fortunate captives. At one point in her ordeal she met "King Philip"the Wampanoag sachem (chief), Metacom. A stolen Bible given her by one of the Indians was her only solace. the vividly written tale quickly became a classic example not only of the captivity genre but of colonial literature generally. It ran through more than 30 editions over the years, and selections from it have been included in countless anthologies of American writing. The date and place of Rowlandson's death are not known.
