Amidst the deadliest per capita conflict in the colonial era, Mary Rowlandson, wife of a prominent minister, was captured by enemy forces in what history has recorded as King Philip's War. She was moved constantly during her 12-weeks as a prisoner, but her experiences, and strong faith, formed the basis of the book she wrote about her ordeal. This book even formed the basis of a new literary genre, one in which contrasting cultures were highlighted, but not always understood. This episode of History: Beyond the Textbook uses Mary's experiences as the context of understanding the destructive nature of King Philip's War, and the consequences that it wrought.
