| Biography | |
| Demos is widely acknowledged as a leading expert on family and social life in early New England and is also noted for his narrative histories dealing with those subjects. He won the Bancroft Prize in 1983 for "Entertaining Satan: Witchcraft and the Culture of Early New England." His most recent work, "The Unredeemed Captive: A Family Story from Early America," was critically acclaimed for its portrait of Eunice Williams, who was kidnapped in 1704 by Mohawk Indians from her village home in Deerfield, Massachusetts, and chose to spend the rest of her life with her captors. | |
