""A Narrative of the Captivity and Adventures of John Tanner"" is an autobiographical account of John Tanner's experiences as a captive among Native American tribes in North America during the early 19th century. Tanner was a U.S. interpreter stationed at Saut de Ste. Marie and was captured by the Ojibwa tribe when he was just nine years old. He lived with them for several years before being sold to the Sioux tribe, where he was adopted into a family and learned their language and customs. Tanner eventually escaped and returned to his own culture, but he remained fascinated by Native American culture and spent the next thirty years living among various tribes, working as an interpreter and trader. In his narrative, Tanner describes his experiences and observations of Native American life and culture, including their customs, beliefs, and traditions. He also provides insights into the relationships between Native Americans and European settlers, as well as the impact of colonization on indigenous communities. ""A Narrative of the Captivity and Adventures of John Tanner"" is an important historical document that offers a unique perspective on the complex and often tragic history of Native American-European interactions in North America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
