A Narrative of the Life of Mrs. Mary Jemison
Mary Jemison was one of the most famous white captives who, after being captured by Indians, chose to stay and live among her captors. She lived to survive two Indian husbands, the births of eight children, the American Revolution, the War of 1812, and the canal era in upstate New York. Her account of acculturation into Seneca society is full of insights into Iroquois culture.
