This book is fascinating! It is the story of European/American settlers taken captive by American Indians during raids, and they way those "prisoners" were integrated into the life of the tribe. In many cases, the "prisoners" did not want to leave the tribe when they were finally given the chance. The book weaves together a wide variety of stories, each with a differenct perspective. I hope you enjoy it!
