This book recounts the amazing life story of a 16-year-old American
Revolutionary-era soldier, including his captivity, adoption, and
eventual flight to freedom from the Iroquois Six-Nation Indian
tribes. The story is retold with historical accuracy and an
even-handed treatment of the conflicting interests of the
loyalists, Iroquois, and Patriots. David Ogden was born into an
unusually tumultuous time in America—the colonials were
struggling to throw off the yoke of British rule while also
battling the Iroquois tribes for control of their ancestral lands.
The bibliography of anyone who survived a life in the late 1700s
frontier days of New York would be a great tale, but David Ogden's
story stands alone, even within historical context of his times.
Captive! The Story of David Ogden and the Iroquois is a compelling
true adventure story of one young colonial soldier's bravery,
choosing a daunting 126-mile race to freedom fraught with the risk
of death over being assimilated into an alien society. This story
is told with all the factual historical information that was
missing from all the original captivity narratives, but accurately
retains the flavor of the period and the voice of the 18th-century
protagonist.
