About the book
WOMAN OF COURAGE 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 imprision 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 in the indomitable strength of one pioneer woman who risked her life to return to her own people.
