Fiction

Mary Ingles was twenty-three, married, and pregnant, when Shawnee Indians invaded her peaceful Virginia (New River area) 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.
