520    In 1758, Peter Williamson appeared in the streets of 
       Aberdeen, Scotland, dressed as a Native American Indian 
       and telling a remarkable tale. 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.--
