He claimed that as a young boy many years earlier, he had been kidnapped from the city and sold into slavery in America. In performances he gave in taverns and coffeehouses and in a printed narrative he peddled to his audiences, Williamson described his serial tribulations on the fringes of the British Empire as an indentured servant, Indian captive, soldier, and prisoner of war. In his performances and publications, Williamson offered British audiences a distinctly plebian perspective on the British Empire in North America. His unique career capitalized on the curiosity that the Seven Years' War ignited among the British public for news and information about America and its Native inhabitants, but his reputation for fabrication also made his contemporaries and historians reluctant to believe him. Indian Captive, Indian King is the first biography of Williamson to separate the fact from fiction in his tale and explain what it tells us about how the working people of eighteenth-century Britain, so often depicted as victims of empire, found their own ways to create lives and exploit opportunities within it.-- |cProvided by publisher. 588 0 Online resource; title from PDF title page (EBSCO, viewed January 4, 2018). 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 600 10 Williamson, Peter,|d1730-1799.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n85194942 600 17 Williamson, Peter,|d1730-1799.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/157044 648 7 18th century|2fast 648 7 1700-1799|2fast 650 0 Captivity narratives|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh00001292|zNorth America|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85092455-781|xHistory|y18th century.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh2002006124 650 0 Indian captivities|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85065218|zNorth America.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85092455-781 650 0 Working class|zGreat Britain|xHistory|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh87000079|y18th century.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002012474 650 7 Captivity narratives.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 846616 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 Indian captivities.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 969063 650 7 Working class.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1180418 651 7 North America.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1242475 651 7 Great Britain.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204623 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 655 7 Biographies.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ genreForms/gf2014026049 655 7 Biographies.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1919896 776 08 |iPrint version:|aShannon, Timothy J.
