About this listen

Mary Ingles was 23, 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 imprison 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 to the indomitable strength of one pioneer woman who risked her life to return to her own people.

Women, surviving mens stupidity and violence since time immemorial. A page turner for sure and a final statement on the "man or bear" argument! Only nature can match a womens strength when she wills it, but somtimes we can overcome even that. Also, we are all Gettle.

A brutal but inspiring story
