Based on a true story: It had been a summer of Indian raids, of marauding and scalping, of murders and captures. A time when the Revolution stretched westward. And a pivotal afternoon in August of 1780, Shawnee warriors attacked and killed William Neely and captured his 19-year-old daughter Mary outside Fort Nashborough (now Nashville, TN). Taken hundreds of miles from home, deep into Indian Territory, Mary must depend on her own courage and determination to escape from her captors and make her way back home.
