Abstract

Part of Barbeau's calendar of captivities, supplementing his lists of Greenwood and Deering collections. As stated in the introduction, "'Indian captivities' usually mean books, booklets and pamphlets containing the recollections of white Americans who, after they were captured by Indians and regained their freedom, wrote down their personal experiences at the hands of their captors or had them recorded for publication." Lists unpublished captivities and bibliographies. Includes unpublished materials, largely northwest-coast narratives of inter-Indian captures taken by William Beynon.
