Discover Dark Side of American Past and the Shocking History Of The Oatman Sisters Massacre

Are you a history lover? Do you like to discover new and obscure facts about historical events that transpired? If so, then you are in for a treat, because this history book offers precisely that.

Not many people have heard of the name Olive Oatman, yet her story has been an inspiration for books, poems, television shows, and feature films.

Olive Oatman was a young girl who experienced horrible tragedies throughout most of her early life but put them behind her as a young woman and became the first female public speaker of her time.

The Captivity Of The Oatman Girls, will take you on a mind-blowing and equally shocking journey through the dark side of American history.

After witnessing her family's brutal massacre at age 14, Olive was taken captive by the murderous Yavapai Indians. A year later, she was traded to Mohave Indians, who embraced her as one of their own. That's when she gained her famous "Blue Tattoo," a tattoo that would become a symbol of Native Indian brutality and vileness. At age 19, she was traded once again, but this time to her white people, and she was finally able to tell her story.

Compelling narrative and lesser-known facts (compiled from multiple sources, letters and diaries of surviving Oatman family members and their relatives, and witness statements) will show you a whole new dimension and shine a new angle on the events Olive Oatman lived through.

Discover everything about Olive Oatman, the American frontier heroine and the girl with the Blue Tattoo, and explore the beginnings of American history - from Olivia's birth to her death and the legacy she left behind.

If you are a history lover, then this book is a must-have for your collection. Sit back and revel in the story, which aftermath makes ripples even today. What are you waiting for?
