Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: A Newbery Honor book inspired by the true story of a girl captured by a Shawnee war party in Colonial America and traded to a Seneca tribe. When twelve-year-old Mary Jemison and her family are captured by Shawnee raiders, she’s sure they’ll all be killed. Instead, Mary is separated from her siblings and traded to two Seneca sisters, who adopt her and make her one of their own. Mary misses her home, but the tribe is kind to her. She learns to plant crops, make clay pots, and sew moccasins, just as the other members do. Slowly, Mary realizes that the Indians are not the monsters she believed them to be. When Mary is given the chance to return to her world, will she want to leave the tribe that has become her family? This Newbery Honor book is based on the true story of Mary Jemison, the pioneer known as the “White Woman of the Genesee.” This ebook features an illustrated biography of Lois Lenski including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author’s estate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Narrative of the Life of Mary Jemison: White Woman of the Genesee Life of Mary Jemison, the White Woman of the Genesee, is, in all its details, a wondrous story of one of the most remarkable captivities suffered at the hands of the Indians by the early settlers of this country. Told by herself with extraordinary clearness of memory at the age of 80 years to James Everett Seaver, M.D., it was first published at Canandaigua, N.Y., in 1824; and now, ninety-four years later, after no less than nineteen editions in this country and England, the popularity of the work is so persistent that this Twentieth Edition has become necessary. For details of the bibliography of this classic in the Indian history of Western New York, the reader is referred to the chapter on that subject on pages274- 293 following; but for a proper comprehension of the story as a whole a few general observations may here be made. In the course of the preceding nineteen editions, the book has received the impress notably of four men, each in turn as editor, namely, James Everett Seaver, M.D., Ebenezer Mix, Lewis Henry Morgan, LL.D., and William Pryor Letchworth, LL.D. Dr. Seaver, in his original narrative, brings out with vividness the personality of the White Woman. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
