This work brings to the modern reader three narratives of captivity of three Americans by Algerians / Barbary pirates during the early years of the 19th century. The original works were: (1) The Captives: Eleven Years a Prisoner in Algiers by James Leander Cathcart (first published in 1899); (2) American Captives in Tripoli by Jonathan Cowdery (1806); and (3) Horrors of Slavery: Or, The American Tars In Tripoli by William Ray (1808). The Cowdery narrative is unabridged, the other two have been abridged to fit in the format of this work. The texts have been edited by Professor Robert J. Allison of Suffolk University in Boston, and the book contains 40 illustrations, many in full color.
