[edit] American captivity narrative

Another editor made this category a sub-category of Category:American literature. However, the American captivity narrative is only one type of captivity narrative. The English "Barbary captivity narrative" goes back to the beginning of the 17th Century, and there are the narratives of the Spanish explorers held captive by Indians. I have therefore created Category:American captivity narrative and made it a subcategory of both this category and Category:American literature. -- Dalbury(Talk) 12:14, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
