Beschreibung
A Narrative of the Life of Mrs. Mary Jemison. offers a remarkable perspective on eighteenth-century America. A white settler by birth, Mary Jemison was taken captive as a child in 1758 and adopted by two Seneca sisters. Refusing offers to return to settler society, she chose to spend the remainder of her life as a Seneca wife, mother, and respected community member. In 1823, the now-elderly Jemison shared her life story with white American writer James Seaver, who published it as a captivity narrative the following year. Conscious of the impacts of Seaver's editorial hand, this edition foregrounds Jemison's voice while also recentering Indigenous perspectives through an informative introduction and an illuminating selection of contextual materials.
