its a great book, and i went and seen her home and the land she lived on with the Native Americans. I would seen it cuz thats were my family is from.
good book for teens or young adolescents to read. True story.
This Newberry Honor book was a good story based on the true life of
the White Woman of the Genesee". Mary was taken from her family at the age of 12 and taught to live the life of the Seneca. This is a very good historical fiction story for children, and those who are young at heart.
A fictional retelling of the experiences of twelve-year-old Mary Jemison, who after being captured by a Shawnee war party during the French and Indian War, is rescued and subsequently adopted by two Seneca sisters with whom she ultimately chooses to stay.
