Indian Captive: The Story of Mary Jemison

Olive: A Fictional Account of the Life of Olive Ann Oatman

[Jen]

There are so many. Was the girl's family living in PA? out in the West? PA will be Mary Jemison, out west could be Olive or a few others. Any specific details? BLONDE hair vs red hair can narrow down which of the books this is.

My favourite is
MARY JEMISON INDIAN CAPTIVE
by Jeanne Lemonnier Gardner

I believe I found it. Ride the Wind. Lucia St Clair Robson
In 1836, when she was nine years old, Cynthia Ann Parker was kidnapped by Comanche Indians. This is the story of how she grew up with them, mastered their ways, married one of their leaders, and became, in every way, a Comanche woman. It is also the story of a proud and innocent people whose lives pulsed with the very heartbeat of the land. It is the story of a way of life that is gone forever..

Excellent book, so glad you found it!
