EU R O P E A N I N D I A N frontiers, the intermediate zones between areas of secure European settlement and those where Amerindians maintained their autonomy, were similar in many ways in the American empires of Spain and Great Britain. In both colonial empires frontier regions were usually zones of tension and conflict, where frequent raiding sometimes gave way to open warfare. In both empires, violence between Europeans and Indians regularly led to mutual taking of captives. While literate Anglo-Americans had little interest in captured Indians and rarely bothered to record information about them, they were often interested in their fellows who had been held captive by Indians. As a result Anglo-American historical literature includes a substantial documentary record on European captives, material that provides extremely valuable, often unique, information about the societies on both sides of the frontier and their interaction.'
