Mary Rowlandson, a Puritan who was held in captivity by the Indians for eleven weeks during the King Philip's War in 1676, is well known in Princeton. Her husband was the first minister for the town of Lancaster, and during her eleven week captivity she traveled through many towns in Massachusetts, and even into New Hampshire and Vermont, before being release at Redemption Rock in Princeton.

Ms. Green will introduce the audience to Mary Rowlandson through her book and through the lens of Puritan thought and Early Colonial Times. The story of Mrs. Rowlandson is relevant today, not only as part of our Colonial American history, but also because it provides us an opportunity to reflect on present-day life.

Discussions and a question-answer time will follow this little-studied period of Early American history. The program is made available by a grant from the Princeton Cultural Council which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.

A video of her presentation can be viewed by appointment in the Woodward Room at the Princeton Public Library.
