This article goes on about her captive narrative. She was a captive for years it seems. She seems to think she was treated better because of a wound.

It goes on that another woman who is hysterical and all is killed with her child.

She goes on in the captivity. I think I read somewhere else she was raped. That would not be out of the ordinary.

Actually, what I read in a Cowboys & Indian type magazine was that they had taken the rape stories out of the captive narratives. This was as if not to make trouble. Maybe it was also a puritan sense. But I think it was the first one.

They say there on this one that she is the only voice breaking the puritan silence but I don't think that is true. I haven't really read it.

I did read the one on captured by Comanches that was terrible.

We are far back partly Mohawk and I've read and heard that they used to do things. I put it out of my mind I suppose. I would have shot them if they were coming too. I would probably have been in trouble. I have my great, great, great grandmother though.

Custer was going there then trying to free the girls that had been captured and I don't blame him. He was under orders. No one else wanted to do it it seems. Then there they were according to one account being waited on. It depended. They had gotten on with their captors.

Sometimes it swings the other way with people trying to act as if the Indians never started a fight or fought which is very far from the truth. I had two people telling me they only counted coups.

There is of course accounts of rape in modern books. There may be in some captive accts.

It is not to start a fight but it's a fact. I had a girl start telling me how the Indians were raped. It happened both ways.
