Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Narrative of the Life of Mary Jemison: White Woman of the Genesee Life of Mary Jemison, the White Woman of the Genesee, is, in all its details, a wondrous story of one of the most remarkable captivities suffered at the hands of the Indians by the early settlers of this country. Told by herself with extraordinary clearness of memory at the age of 80 years to James Everett Seaver, M.D., it was first published at Canandaigua, N.Y., in 1824; and now, ninety-four years later, after no less than nineteen editions in this country and England, the popularity of the work is so persistent that this Twentieth Edition has become necessary. For details of the bibliography of this classic in the Indian history of Western New York, the reader is referred to the chapter on that subject on pages274- 293 following; but for a proper comprehension of the story as a whole a few general observations may here be made. In the course of the preceding nineteen editions, the book has received the impress notably of four men, each in turn as editor, namely, James Everett Seaver, M.D., Ebenezer Mix, Lewis Henry Morgan, LL.D., and William Pryor Letchworth, LL.D. Dr. Seaver, in his original narrative, brings out with vividness the personality of the White Woman. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
