Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Life among the Indians
Young Frances Slocum was one of a family of peaceful Quakers from
the Wyoming Valley, but latterly living in Lenape, Pennsylvania
when, in 1778, aged just five years old, she was abducted by a
raiding party of Miami Indians and carried away into captivity. She
became Maconaquah-the Little Bear-and she was destined to spend the
rest of her life living as an Indian. It was nearly sixty years
before her brothers finally located her on an Indian Reservation
near Peru, Indiana and by that time she had been so totally
integrated into tribal life, including having been married twice
giving birth to four children, that a return to life as a 'white'
American woman was impossible; she lived out her life in Indiana
dying at the age of 75 years. The fascinating story of 'the lost
sister' is another iconic tale of the struggles of women in the
emergent American nation and makes riveting reading. Available in
softcover and hardcover with dustjacket.
