Captured (The Captive Series Book 1)

Product Information

Elizabeth followed closely behind, journeying to India with their daughter but leaving her son with her parents who had by now settled comfortably at a Navy Office house in Chatham. Recovered children usually had traumatic readjustments. It took them far longer to relearn the white man’s ways than it did for them to become “Indianized”. Young men struggled to fit in with their white families; many could not, and returned to the reservations. They did not fit fully in either world.

Captured: An American Prisoner of War in North Vietnam

Zesch explains how each had grown to resent white society and what it had and was continuing to do their Native family. In fact, many had come to fully understand the horrific raids against them and their families, and felt little to no resentment over them. There was also a lot of explanation about horrendous crimes the United States committed against these groups, further providing a different narrative than what so many are accustomed to. Dogged original research and superb narrative skills come together in this gripping account of pitiless evil.

Jessica wrote: "I'm really hesitant to read Room, if only because i can't believe a realistic novel could be narrated by a five year old kid. Unless I'm understanding the premise incorrectly." While many were killed on these raids, Zesch focused on those taken by the Natives and incorporated into tribal life. In most of these cases, this occurred to children, as they are easier to mold and influence. Additionally, for those who for whatever reason returned to white society, most found it incredibly difficult, if not impossible, to ever fully reclaim their biological family and culture. The Captured explores and examines the stories of white settlers abducted by Plains Indians on the American frontier during the mid to late 1800s. His search for information about his relative, Adolph Korn, revealed how common a practice raiding and kidnapping was for the Plains Indians, and others who had similar fates to Korn. In response, Zesch compiled these stories together in an attempt to shed light and understanding on a topic that is often viewed through a single perspective.
