Synopsis

NATIONAL BESTSELLER * "It takes a rare individual not only to see that history can live, but also to make it live for others. James Thom has that gift."-- The Indianapolis News Mary Ingles was twenty-three, happily married, and pregnant with her third child when Shawnee Indians invaded her peaceful Virginia settlement in 1755 and kidnapped her, leaving behind a bloody massacre. For months they held her captive. But nothing could imprison her spirit. With the rushing Ohio River as her guide, Mary Ingles walked one thousand miles through an untamed wilderness no white woman had ever seen. Her story lives on--extraordinary testimony to the indomitable strength of one pioneer woman who risked her life to return to her own people., NATIONAL BESTSELLER - "It takes a rare individual not only to see that history can live, but also to make it live for others.

A very intense story of a strong woman in the wilderness and her journey home.
The story of a white woman kidnapped by Native Americans is very compelling. She longed for her husband and children left behind. The majority of the book is her escape and journey back to her family. I enjoyed the book but was emotionally worn out near the end. I don't know how anyone could have made the journey she did. Heartbreaking and very depressing but admire greatly her determination and spirit. Don't think I will read it again in spite of it being a very good book.The story of a white woman kidnapped by Native Americans is very compelling.

I read it twice
I read this book 10-15 yes ago then gave it to a group of friends to read, sign, then pass on. Everyone loved this true story, some, like me, read it in 1-2 days. Don't know where it is now but I wanted to read it again so this time I purchased two. A true story abt how a pregnant pioneer woman & her 2 children were captured by Indians. This is a heartbreaking, unimaginable, detailed, fantastic, true story abt a very strong woman doing the impossible to get back to her husband.I read this book 10-15 yes ago then gave it to a group of friends to read, sign, then pass on.
