Synopsis
Mary Ingles was twenty-three, married, and pregnant, when Shawnee Indians invaded her peaceful Virginia settlement, killed the men and women, then took her captive. For months, she lived with them, unbroken, until she escaped, and followed a thousand mile trail to freedom--an extraordinary story of a pioneer woman who risked her life to return to her people.
Reviews
Thom is certainly the best writer of native american culture and history. The struggles of this incredible woman, MaryIngles, against all odds,are told in wonderful realism. We follow her along the river as every day becomes a fight for survival in her determination to return home...great book!
