A Narrative of the Captivity and Adventures of John Tanner (U.S. Interpreter at the Saut de Ste. Marie) - During Thirty Years Residence among the Indians in the Interior of North America

The story of John Tanner is the tragic and age-old story of a man who had no country, no people, no one who understood him, no place to lay his head. His Narrative, which is the story of his thirty years captivity among the Ojibways, was written a few years after he settled once more among the civilized whites. The material was written down and edited by Doctor Edwin James, and Jamess foreword gives a hint of the almost insurmountable difficulties that surrounded Tanners attempt to establish himself among the whites. However, the real story of John Tanners long and tragic life unraveled after the book was printed in 1830, for Tanner spent sixteen more years trying to find a place for himself in white society. Here was a man who had lived as a white boy only nine years, had then been captured and had spent thirty years among the Indians, had married an Indian woman and produced half-breed children, had in every wayphysically, mentally, emotionally, and spirituallylived as an Indian for so long that he forgot his own name and could no longer speak the English language, but still was impelled by some ancient hunger to try to find his own people, to be a member of the society that had borne him. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
