"The
Ordeal of John Gyles: Being an Account of his Odd Adventures, Strange
Deliverances and as a Slave of the Maliseets" by Stuart
Trueman. In 1689 John Gyles, a nine year old Puritan boy was captured
by fierce Maliseet braves invading what is now Maine. He became a slave
of the St. John River Indians and one of the first English-civilian
residents of what is now the Province of New Brunswick. Exactly eight
years, ten months, and seventeen days after he was captured he returned
home. This semi-fictional book is based on John Gyles' incredible
adventures during the six years he spent with the Indians and the three
years he lived with a French seigneur's family as chronicled in his
personal journey written in 1736. The
many relevant passages quoted give a fascinating picture of the vivid,
dramatic episodes of torture, Indian warfare and living conditions. He
had become completely familiar with the way Indians lived and with the
details of the French-Indian-English conflicts of the second half of
the 17th century. His thorough knowledge of the French, Maliseet and
Micmac tongues gave Gyles uncommon insight into the
vastly differing viewpoints of these struggling peoples.
