Captivity of the Oatman Girls is a non-fiction book written by R. B. Stratton that tells the true story of two sisters, Mary Ann and Olive Oatman, who were captured by Apache Indians in 1851 during their journey to California with their family. The book describes the girls' experiences living with the Apache and later being sold to the Mohave tribe, where they were eventually rescued by the U.S. government. The narrative provides insight into the customs, beliefs, and lifestyle of these Native American tribes during the mid-19th century, as well as the challenges faced by the Oatman sisters as they adapted to their new surroundings. The book is a fascinating and informative account of a little-known chapter in American history and offers a unique perspective on the complex relationship between Native Americans and European settlers during this time period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
