""True Story Of The Lost Shackle: Or Seven Years With The Indians"" is a non-fiction book written by Owen P. Dabney. The book tells the story of his great-grandfather, John Dabney, who was kidnapped by Native Americans in 1788 and lived with them for seven years before being rescued. The title of the book refers to a shackle that John had been forced to wear during his captivity, which was lost during his escape. The book details John's experiences living with the Native Americans, including his assimilation into their culture and his eventual return to his family and the white man's world. The book provides a unique perspective on Native American life and culture during the late 18th century and offers insight into the experiences of those who were taken captive.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
