About The Book

Shawnee Captive: The Story of Mary Draper Ingles is the true story of heroic

Mary Draper Ingles. In 1745, Mary moved with her parents to Draper’s Meadow in

the Shenandoah Valley. Here they hoped to finally have rich farmland and the

freedom to worship freely — far from the greedy landlords of their native Ireland

and the partisan rules of Quaker Pennsylvania. Mary and her family were

industrious and strong, quickly learning skills to survive on the

frontier.  In 1750, at the age of seventeen, Mary Draper married

twenty-year old Will Ingles-the first wedding of two white settlers in the

region.

As more Europeans moved into the area, tension between the settlers and the

Native Americans increased.  Raids and killings by both sides became

common. One day while the men were at harvest, a band of Shawnee warriors

stormed Draper’s Meadow, killing some settlers and burning the settlement to the

ground. Taken captive were Mary, pregnant with her third child, her two young

sons, and her injured sister-in-law. 

Through intuition and courage Mary impressed her kidnappers almost

immediately. The captives were marched 800 miles over mountains to a Shawnee

village on the Ohio River, presumably to spend the rest of their lives among the

Shawnee tribe.  But Mary vowed to escape and return to her husband and her

people. The story of this remarkable woman’s harrowing and courageous trip home

places Mary Ingles at the pinnacle of American frontier heroes.
