(INDIAN CAPTIVITY.) Brayton, Matthew. The Indian Captive. A Narrative of the Adventures and Suffereings of Matthew Brayton... Among the Indians of North-Western America. 70 pages. 12mo, publisher's boards, soiled, rebacked with tape; toned. Fostoria, Ohio, 1896
- Notes: The second edition, published by Brayton's nephew, is preceded by the very scarce Cleveland edition of 1860. "After being stolen as a lad in northwestern Ohio, successively traded to various western tribes, and finally adopted by the Snakes, he wandered with them as far as California and Oregon. Basically authentic, though confused in its details and geography, it is one of the most remarkable and?in spite of its relatively late publication date?one of the rarest items belonging to captivity literature"--Howes B736; Wagner-Camp 351 (note); Graff 394.
