Summary: "The Boy Captives: An Incident of the Indian War of 1695" by John Greenleaf Whittier is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book tells the story of a perilous event during the Indian wars, specifically focusing on the capture and escape of two young boys from the frontier settlement of Haverhill, Massachusetts. Whittier’s narrative reflects the dangers faced by early settlers in New England and the impacts of conflicts with Native Americans during this tumultuous period. The story centers around two boys, Isaac Bradley and Joseph Whittaker, who are captured by a group of Native Americans while working in a field. Despite their initial fears of being taken to Canada, where they would face a terrifying fate, they endure the hardships of captivity through resilience and cleverness. As they struggle for survival, Isaac devises a plan to escape, and the boys embark on a grueling journey through the wilderness. Relying on their instincts, resourcefulness, and sheer willpower, they navigate numerous obstacles, including what seems to be an impossible pursuit by their captors. Ultimately, their determination leads them to safety as they reach Saco Fort, where they are welcomed and cared for, showcasing themes of bravery, resilience, and the power of friendship amid adversity.
