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.
