Mary Rowlandson was unfortunately captured by Indians during King Phillip’s War for 3 months in 1675. During this time she endured many hardships that one couldn’t even imagine living in the twenty first century. She often struggled to find food and the Indians were extremely fickle some days they weren’t that cruel but she could never be sure. Rowlandson saw her family on occasion, but it was never guaranteed she could make a visit. Rowlandson did have one person to aid her through the misfortunes, and that was God. Mary Rowlandson shows religious devotion, all throughout her book, she mentions God over fifty times, since she had access to a Bible Rowlandson often quotes it.
