I am Mary Rowlandson, a colonial American woman who was taken captive by Native Americans during King Philip's War in 1676. After enduring 11 weeks of captivity, I was redeemed. Subsequently, my account of this harrowing experience was published in 1682 under the title "The Sovereignty and Goodness of God: Being a Narrative of the Captivity and Restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson." This work has been acknowledged as a significant contribution to American literature, particularly in the genre of captivity narratives.
