Mary Rowlandson was caught by Wampanagu Indian at home in Lancaster, Massachusetts during King Philippe war. She was caught for a couple of months. When she was released, she wrote a story about her story, Mrs. Mary Rowlandson imprisonment and repair. In most of her stories, she called indian barbarian beasts and infidels, but sometimes they praised them and seemed to appreciate them treating her.

The publication of the captured story of Rowlandson made settlers to take an important position in the history of American literature. The Captive Mary Rolandson Captivity and Recovery Story is the most frequently quoted example of imprisoned stories and is often seen as a typical model. This important American literary genre is a source of information on colonial history of the 18th and 19th century writers James Fenimore Cooper, Anne Bleecker, John Williams and James Sieber. When Laurentson encounters an Indian prisoner of war, her story is also interesting from the approach to cross-cultural contacts. Finally, when using autobiography, typology of the Bible, and similarity with Jeremiah, the punishment of the story provides valuable insight into Puritan's ideology.
