There, in February 1704, a French and Indian war party descended on the village of Deerfield, abducting a Puritan minister and his children. Although John Williams was eventually released, his daughter horrified the family by staying with her captors and marrying a Mohawk husband. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOut of this incident, The Bancroft Prize-winning historian John Devos has constructed a gripping narrative that opens a window into North America where English, French, and Native Americans faced one another across gilfs of culture and belief, and sometimes crossed over.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Putnam Demos is Samuel Knight Professor of History at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut.
