520			_a"Captives Among the Indians: First-hand Narratives of Indian Wars, Customs, Tortures, and Habits of Life in Colonial Times," edited by Horace Kephart, is a historical account published in the early 20th century. This collection presents personal narratives from individuals who were captured by Native American tribes, detailing their experiences, cultural observations, and the conflicts that characterized colonial America. The book highlights various accounts of captivity, each providing a unique perspective on the lives of both the captives and the indigenous peoples during a tumultuous period. The beginning of the text introduces Colonel James Smith, who recounts his experiences from 1755 to 1759 when he fell victim to an Indian ambush and was taken prisoner by a group of Delaware Indians. The narrative details his initial capture, the treatment he received from his captors, and his subsequent adoption into their tribe, where he learned their customs and way of life. Smith describes the challenges he faced, including surviving harsh conditions and forming meaningful relationships with the people he once considered enemies. As he navigates his dual identity as both a captive and a member of the tribe, the opening portion sets the stage for a deeper exploration of intercultural interactions during this historically significant era.
