Captivity of the Oatman Girls

Vividly describes the Oatman family, their fateful journey in the spring of 1851, the massacre, captivity, search, and the survivors.

Summary

In 1851, nine members of the Oatman family set out for California on the old Santa Fe Trail. Seventy miles from the California border they were attacked by Indians, who massacred the entire family, except a boy, Lorenzo (mistakenly left for dead), and two girls, Ann and Olive. This book describes the Oatman family and their fateful journey.
