Abstract
The Native American practice of taking captives was common during the Wars of Empire of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Many of these captives were women and girls whose experiences demonstrate the clashing of cultures and religions which led to various different outcomes for captives. This project examines the different dimensions of the experiences of three such women, Hannah Swarton, Esther Wheelwright, and Mary Jemison. It compares the importance of religion in their stories, the role of their captors, and their treatment and experiences while in captivity and explores why their stories may have ended in such different ways.
