The News Letter Book for 1737 contains an extensive list of world news and publications in the 17th and 18th centuries. The editor describes the paper as "Weakly [sic] news letters & journals. With some other things at the beginning & end of this book."

The Unredeemed Captive: A Family Story from Early America was published by Knopf in 1994, and won the Francis Parkman and Ray Allen Billington prizes in American history. Since then, it has become a model for new approaches to writing narrative history. In The Unredeemed Captive, Demos offers a striking retelling of the aftermath of the 1704 French and Native American raid on the Puritan settlement in Deerfield, Massachusetts.
