A riveting fictional account(based on certain actual events ) of Mary Jemison who was abducted from her PA home at 16 by a Shawnee hunting party.This is the story of her life...
The writing is powerful, unadorned and beautiful. A young girl names Mary Jerimson is an original heroine in this account of her capture by Indians in 1758. Renamed with an Indian name she gradually becomes integrated into her new family... she marries a Delaware warrior, raises a family etc. Fascinating story and completely believable.

I LOVED this book. It is a very quick read and is a fascinating fictionalized life story of a real woman who was abducted by Indians as a young girl.

This book is based alot on truth. If i could give it more stars just for the true history of the account i would. It is the story of a young white girl taken by the Indians and raised. The trauma she went thru and her life in a tribe. It was well written and quite engrossing. A page turner, i loved it.
I became interested in this story upon visiting Letchworth Park on the Genesee River in New York. This book is an ok overall but I think it lacked depth and I did not enjoy it very much. I'll keep looking for more on this woman though.
