INDIAN CAPTIVE: The Story of Mary Jemison

by Lois Lenski ‧ RELEASE DATE: Oct. 1, 1941

Based on factual records, this story of the formative years during which thirteen year old Mary Jemison made her adjustment to the life of a member of the Seneca tribe, is an extraordinarily perceptive and vigorous picture of Indian life, of the kindliness with which white captive children were treated, of the steps by which a white child came to think and be Indian. Intimate human bits about the daily, monthly, seasonal round; the presentation of the struggle in Molly's emotions, carefully and convincingly handled.
