American Indian captivity narratives, accounts of men and women of European descent who were captured by Native Americans, were popular in both America and Europe from the 17th century until the close of the United States frontier late in the 19th century. Mary Rowlandson's memoir, "A Narrative of the Captivity and Restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson", (1682) is a classic example of the genre. According to Nancy Armstrong and Leonard Tennenhouse, Rowlandson's captivity narrative was "one of the most popular captivity narratives on both sides of the Atlantic." Although the text temporarily fell out of print after 1720, it had a revival of interest in the 1780s. Other popular captivity narratives from the late 17th century include Cotton Mather's "The Captivity of Hannah Dustin" (1696–97), a well-known account that took place during King William's War, and Jonathan Dickinson's "God's Protecting Providence" (1699).
