John Tanner (captive) : ウィキペディア英語版 | John Tanner (captive)
John Tanner (''c.'' 1780 – d. in or after 1846) was captured by Shawnee American Indians as a child of ten (Tocqueville reported six), after his family had moved to territory on the Ohio River in present-day Kentucky. He grew up with the Ojibwa nation, becoming fully acculturated and learning the Saulteaux language. He married an Indian woman, guided Europeans in the Northwest, and worked as an interpreter at fur trading posts. In 1830 his book about his many years with the American Indians was published in New York. Its title was ''A narrative of the captivity and adventures of John Tanner, (U.S. interpreter at the Sault de Ste. Marie,) during thirty years residence among the Indians in the interior of North America''. ==Early life== John Tanner was the son of the Rev. John Tanner and his wife of Virginia. He was born about 1780. As part of the post-Revolutionary War westward migrations, his family moved to country on the Ohio River in Kentucky in 1789. It was considered dangerous as settlers competed for territory with Native Americans who tried to defend their lands. In 1790 at age 10, Tanner was captured by a Shawnee warrior. He became thoroughly assimilated into Native American culture after he was sold to an Ojibwa tribe. He traveled with them as far west as the Little Saskatchewan River, near its confluence with the Assiniboine and the present site of Brandon, Manitoba.
