Picked by Barb - January 11th Meeting
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.
