William Bradford: A Family's Outcast

Mary Rowlandson's Captivity
Did Mary Rowlandson ever fear dying during captivity? In her narrative, she seemed as if she wasn't afraid and kept describing every gruesome detail, and she kept saying that her capture was an act of God and that she still had hope, but most people fear their death of themselves when they are in situations like hers. I believe she did have some fear but her belief in her faith was enough to keep it off of her mind.
