After Caty, a Quaker farm girl, is captured by the Lenape Indians, she must adjust to her new life and shed her old prejudices about Indians. Caty's struggles with herself are convincing, and her diary provides insights into eighteenth-century life among both the European settlers and the Lenape. Appended are a historical note and period illustrations.
