Captured and Tortured

Trilogy of Terror

By: Fritz Zimmerman

Narrated by: Shea Grounds

Here within is a collection of 57 accounts of firsthand narratives of people captured by Indians in colonial times who lived to tell their story of the lives, customs, kindness, and cruelties of Native Americans. Various torture methods by different tribes are described in graphic detail by people who witnessed these horrible atrocities. Indian raids on small farming communities were bloody and gruesome events, with young and old stripped, clubbed, and scalped. Women were captured and taken to Canada, where they were sold as slaves to the French. While many were treated harshly by the Indians, some were treated with much kindness by their captors. Journals from colonists captured by the Indians provide unprecedented accounts of how the Indians lived and how they existed on the run from the British army and the much-feared Mohawk Indians. They witnessed the colonial men captured and the cruelties, torture, and death in the most horrendous manners in their travels. They were only able to endure these torments through their unwavering belief that God would see them through their terrible ordeal. It is a true testament to the power of faith that sustained and eventually delivered them from their captivity.

Warning: This book describes acts of terrible violence and should not be listened to by anyone under 18.
