He then wrote it and added information that would make the information understandable to someone of his generation.Mary was kidnapped by a French patrol during the French and Indian War. All but four of the patrol were Native Americans, members of the Iroquois Confederacy. After a few days of running the patrol killed all of the captive except Mary and an adolescent boy. They were later sold as slaves. Mary was bought by two sisters who had recently lost a close relative. She later married an older Oneida man and they had a couple of kids. Her husband later died. She remarried and had more kids. later when her oldest sons were grown and had influence in Iroquois politics she was granted some land to farm. She was such a shrewd negotiator that she ended up with about 10,000 acres of land south of what became Rochester, New York. She also became involved with some interesting people in the area. The story is a fairly good description of why a woman of that time would prefer to live as a Native Americaan woman instead of the Irish immigrant she was..Product details

A Narrative of the Life of Mrs Mary Jemison With Linked Table of Contents eBook James E Seaver Reviews
The narrative gives an interesting insight into the life at the frontier in America near the time of the War of 1812. Although the narrative is supposed to be an accurate account of Mary Jemison's life, the detail included seems rather high from a person of her age to relate, and I feel that some of the story has been embellished by the author James Seaver, although it does make a good read.
Compiled of events late in the 18th & early 19th Century it is written in the vernacular of the era.Mary Jemison adapts well outliving 3 Indian husbands & 5 of her 8 children.Every woman today who feels "UNFULFILLED" should read this & thank their"Lucky Stars".
From the moment I started to read her story story until the end, I was absorbed. I'm from Pittsburgh myself, and I recognized most of the places Mrs. Jemison spoke of. It's hard to believe that what happened to her, happened not all that long ago.
For all that she went through, all those she lost, she didn't seem bitter but accepted it and kept on going. I wish I could have met her, to tell her
she has my utmost respect, and that I hope I can live my life as well as she did.
The story of Mary Jemison was interesting, BUT telling the reader she was never schooled again past the age of 14, (after being captured) left me dizzy trying to decipher the BIG WORDS and narrative used by the interviewer telling this story. I have read many books on White Captives, and this would be one of the best as far as describing cruelties by Indians spent on their enemies but for the writer trying so hard to make a simple tale complex!
Mary Jemison's narrative was worth reading, but the author's comments and interpretation were obviously influenced by the prejudice of his time. She would never have used the word "squaw" for example example as that would have been an insult to a Seneca woman.
This is an account of white captive Mary Jemison’s experiences with the Seneca Indians. The time period covered is from the 1750s to the early 19th century. I highly recommend this for anyone studying this historical era. The digital format was excellent.
Mary Jemison was a young child when her family was murdered and she was taken captive by the Indians.
She grew to adolescence and was constrained to marry a warrior of the tribe
. Her travails, second marriage to a kind person after the death of her first husband,
and birth of eight children prevented a return to the 'white' people.Her story is valuable as a
historical record, as well as a true narrative of the relationship between the Indians and the
white people of her time period.
The book is well written and detailed.
