Answer:

Explanation: Mary Rowlandson's captivity narrative describes her experience as a captive of the Native Americans during the King Philips War in 1676. In February 1676, during King Philip's War, a party of Indians attacked Lancaster and laid siege to the Rowlandson house, where many townspeople had sought refuge. The Indians overwhelmed the defenders and took 24 captives, including Mary Rowlandson and her three children, one of whom died a week later.
