The book Captivity of the Oatman Girls is a historical narrative written by R. B. Stratton. It tells the story of two sisters, Mary Ann Oatman and Olive Oatman, who were captured by the Apache tribe in the mid-nineteenth century while traveling with their family to California. The book describes their harrowing experiences as captives of the Apache and later the Mohave tribe, including their forced adoption into the Mohave culture and the eventual release of Mary Ann after five years in captivity. Olive, however, tragically did not survive her captivity. The book provides a unique perspective on the history of the American West and the clash of cultures between Native Americans and settlers. It is a compelling and informative read for anyone interested in the history of the Western United States or the experiences of women in captivity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
