Helpful Score: 3

This is an account of a young girl, Olive Oatman, who was abducted by the Indian tribe who murdered her family. She was later traded to another tribe. Initially,the story kept me reading with many teaching moments concerning the Indian tribes Oatman lived with. As I read further the author spent a lot of time commenting on the Methodist minister who wrote a book about Oatman. Mifflin pointed out the many inaccuracies the man made in his writing as she corrected the misinformation. This got a little old as it seemed to dominate the content at times. Overall,I did find the book interesting and informative.
