The Ransom of Mercy Carter by Caroline B. Cooney Pdf

Deerfield, Massachusetts is one of the most remote, and therefore dangerous, settlements in the English colonies. In 1704 an Indian tribe attacks the town, and Mercy Carter becomes separated from the rest of her family, some of whom do not survive. Mercy and hundreds of other settlers are herded together and ordered by the Indians to start walking. The grueling journey -- three hundred miles north to a Kahnawake Indian village in Canada -- takes more than 40 days. At first Mercy's only hope is that the English government in Boston will send ransom for her and the other white settlers. But days turn into months and Mercy, who has become a Kahnawake daughter, thinks less and less of ransom, of Deerfield, and even of her "English" family. She slowly discovers that the "savages" have traditions and family life that soon become her own, and Mercy begins to wonder: If ransom comes, will she take it?

Mercy by Caroline B. Cooney Pdf

It is 1704. Mercy Carter lives in Deerfield, Massachusetts - an English settlement in a divided continent. Death is always close at hand - death from the weather, from the French, and from the Kahnawake Indians. It is a brutal place. And it's about to get worse. When a group of Kahnawake raids Deerfield one icy night, Mercy is captured, with hundreds of other settlers, and dragged by the Indians on a long, long trail to the unknown north. They walk until their feet bleed and their spirits are bowed. They walk with little food, for forty days and nights, three-hundred miles to a Kahnawake village. Some of them don't make it that far - and many of those who do would rather have died on the way. A new life lies in wait. But is it slavery - or a kind of freedom? Mercy, along with her fiercely religious, fiercely English family, had always thought of the Indians as savages. But as she begins to live their life, she becomes one of them...
