In the American Revolution era, the frontier fought its own war. Then the woods close in. Josiah Priest gathers a stark indian captivity narrative centred on David Ogden, seized and held in native american captivity, forced through frontier slavery suffering, and driven towards a miraculous escape story that reads with the plain force of lived danger. Told with brisk drive, it records the daily reckonings of hunger, labour, and watchfulness, and the fragile moments when compassion and calculation meet across cultures. Its power lies not in romance, but in what it preserves of frontier experience at close range. Around Ogden's ordeal, Priest sets eight further pieces as a revolutionary war stories collection and frontier adventure anthology: border raids, scouts, hunters, and the hard bargains of northeast frontier life. These are early america primary sources in spirit and purpose, shaped for readers who want the immediacy of testimony as much as the sweep of history. For american revolution history buffs, the book opens a side of the conflict often left off the battlefield maps; for collectors of classic narrative, it stands in the lineage of the mary rowlandson captivity narrative and the tradition that later fed daniel boone frontier stories, revealing how fear, faith, endurance, and ingenuity were written into the national memory. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike in the twenty-first century.
