Tragedies of the Wilderness: Or True and Authentic Narratives of Captives is a book written by Samuel Gardner Drake and originally published in 1844. The book is a collection of true stories of individuals who were taken captive by Native American tribes in the American wilderness during the 18th and early 19th centuries. The stories in the book are based on first-hand accounts and other historical documents and provide a detailed and often harrowing account of the experiences of these captives. The book covers a range of different tribes and regions, including the Cherokee, Shawnee, and Iroquois, and includes stories of both men and women, adults and children.The book also provides historical context for the events described, including information on the conflicts between Native American tribes and European settlers, as well as the broader political and social climate of the time. Overall, Tragedies of the Wilderness is a fascinating and sometimes disturbing look at a little-known aspect of American history. It offers a unique perspective on the experiences of those who were taken captive by Native American tribes and sheds light on the complex relationships between different groups during this period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
