Summary "Narrative of the Captivity of William Biggs among the Kickapoo Indians in Illinois in 1788" is a historical account written by William Biggs himself, likely during the early 20th century when it was reprinted for a modern audience. The book chronicles Biggs's experiences and struggles after being captured by the Kickapoo Indians, detailing his various encounters as he attempts to navigate his captivity and ultimately seeks a way to return to his family. In this gripping narrative, Biggs recounts the harrowing events leading up to his capture, including his presence in Illinois, where he and a companion fell prey to a band of sixteen Kickapoo warriors. As he becomes a captive, the story captures his fear, resilience, and eventual adaptation to life among the Indians. Biggs details his experience of being tied and transported, as well as his efforts to understand the language and customs of his captors. Through a combination of fear, courage, and strategic interactions, he ultimately earns the trust of the Kickapoo, leading to his eventual release and journey back home, revealing profound truths about survival, cultural exchange, and human relationships amidst conflict.
