A harrowing true survival story of a courageous pioneer woman before the American Revolution. My great-great-great-great grandmother was also captured by native Americans in Virginia around the same time and ransomed back 7 years later. The story of Mary Draper Ingles is also used in Sharyn McCrumb's book "She Walks These Hills". A good book for modern kids to learn about the hard times people went through to establish our country.
