Welcome to Litsy!

This book shares fiction & fact about Mary Campbell, captured by the Delaware Indians in May 1759. One fascinating fact in the afterword states after returning to her family & marrying, neighbors referred to her 12 children as "those Mohawks". Evidently she taught them what she had learned while living with the Delaware's. I learned a great deal about compassion, geography, & survival while reading this book about Mary Campbell's life experience.

Today began with a road trip and I started reading this book. I can't remember the last time I read a book in a day. Realistically this is a child's book but the story was based on Mary Campbell's real experience as a captive of the Delaware Indians so I couldn't resist buying it at my library sale several months ago. To complete the experience of like to travel to Ohio to see the cave named after her.
