![]() While he had access to historical records for people and places and some of the story, he still manages to create a believable personality for his characters and I loved how he imagined Mary and her strong but witty personality. When I happened upon the Audio version and teamed up with Kindle well I just had to give it a go.Ĭertainly not for the faint hearted as there are some harrowing scenes throughout the story but its extremely well written and one couldn't help admire James Alexander Throm’s research and vivid imagination that went into writing this novel. ![]() I had a copy of this book on my bookshelf for years however I just couldn’t read it as it was a tiny hardback edition with Microscopic print that I just couldn’t bring myself to read. ![]() You cant help but be captivated and amazed by the spirit of Mary Ingles and her arduous trek to freedom in 1750s frontier America. For months she lived with them unbroken, until she made her escape, and followed a thousand mile trail to freedom. Mary Ingles was 23, married and pregnant when Shawnee Indians invaded her peaceful Virginia settlement, killed the men and women, then took her and her sons captive. A brilliant and breathtaking adventure, harrowing at times but a book that I will certainly remember many years from now. ![]()
