Mary Rowlandson was captured during King Philip's War in 1675 when Native American forces attacked her settlement in Lancaster, Massachusetts. She was taken captive along with her children and held for nearly three months. Her captivity was part of the broader conflict between English settlers and Native Americans over land and resources. Rowlandson later chronicled her experiences in "The Sovereignty and Goodness of God," which provides insights into her ordeal and the cultural clash of the time.

Mary Rowlandson was born in 1637.
Mary Rowlandson was taken captive by Native American Indians during King Philip's War in 1676 because her settlement of Lancaster, Massachusetts was attacked and raided by Native American warriors. Rowlandson was among the many settlers who were taken as captives during the conflict.
At sunrise on February 10, 1675, during King Phillip's War, Lancaster came under attack by Narragansett, Wampanoag and Nashaway/Nipmuc Indians. Mary Rowlandson and her three children, Joseph, Mary and Sarah, were among the hostages taken.
The Indians helped Mary Rowlandson escape because they may have viewed her as a valuable bargaining chip to exchange for money or goods from the English colonists. Additionally, they may have wanted to establish goodwill with the colonists to potentially secure future alliances or benefits.
Mary Rowlandson was captured by Native Americans during King Philip's War in 1675. She was held captive for 11 weeks and wrote a detailed account of her experiences in her memoir "A Narrative of the Captivity and Restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson." Rowlandson's narrative provides a vivid portrayal of the hardships and sufferings she endured during her captivity, as well as insights into the interactions between colonists and Native Americans during that period.

Mary Rowlandson referred to her six-year-old daughter as "it" in her captivity narrative to emphasize the dehumanizing effects of her experience. This choice of language reflects her trauma and the loss of personal identity in the face of violence and separation. By using "it," Rowlandson illustrates how her daughter's humanity was overshadowed by the brutal circumstances of their captivity. This stark reference underscores the emotional and psychological toll of her ordeal.
