I had never heard of this woman but saw a novel about her in a book store in AZ. This was an academic, historical account. Now I am intrigued to read the novel.

Almost all of Olive Oatman's family was massacred by Indians while traveling to their Mormon promised land in California in the 1850's. Of their family, only 2 daughters and a son were left alive; The girls taken captive and the boy beaten and tossed off a cliff and left for dead. After 5 years of living with different Native American tribes, the family members were reunited. While Olive does return to and lives the rest of her life among white settlers, history has wondered whether she returned Almost all of Olive Oatman's family was massacred by Indians while traveling to their Mormon promised land in California in the 1850's. Of their family, only 2 daughters and a son were left alive; The girls taken captive and the boy beaten and tossed off a cliff and left for dead. After 5 years of living with different Native American tribes, the family members were reunited. While Olive does return to and lives the rest of her life among white settlers, history has wondered whether she returned willingly or was forced to return to "civilization." There are opposing stories throughout history that cast doubt and mystery as to the real reason and feelings behind Olive's return to white society. Hourly History's synopsis of Olive's life and mystery surrounding these trying events is a great introduction into her story and leaves me wanting to know more! I think I will try to find another book about Olive and her family to see if I can learn more. Thank you LibraryThing Member's Giveaway for sending me an e-copy of this book and introducing me to the Oatman's story.

I have always wondered about Olive Oatman now I know the whole story. She was traveling west with her Morman family for a better life. The Yavapia Indians attacked the small group of Mormons and the Yavapia Indians escaped with Olive Oatman at age 13 and her younger sister, Mary Ann. Later the Yavapia Indians traded the two girls to the Mohave Indians.. The permanent tattoo on Olive chin was a sign that she belonged to the Mohave Tribe. Her younger sister was ill and died, not being strong enoug I have always wondered about Olive Oatman now I know the whole story. She was traveling west with her Morman family for a better life.

Later the Yavapia Indians traded the two girls to the Mohave Indians.. The permanent tattoo on Olive chin was a sign that she belonged to the Mohave Tribe. Her younger sister was ill and died, not being strong enough to pull through. Later on, her brother found Olive and with the help of the authorities they took her from the Mohave Indians. There were books, interviews and newspaper articles written about her. She found a man that loved her as she was and they married. She lived with him until she died at age 65, then her husband died five years later.. This is a fascinating and interesting true story. Thank you, Hourly History.

A woman and her male dominated life This is a very interesting story, but I think it could have been given a little more detail and less repetition. I gave it 2 stars, because it is a horrendous story and needs a little more sympathy toward both Olive and toward the Native American peoples. It is just a little too factual for my liking. I suppose I wish for a novel based on this story.

A fascinating read! This true account of historical literature is to the point on all details from beginning to end. I’m going to read more from this author, for sure. Perfect length for reading and at the same time finding out many facts in a shorter amount of time. You will enjoy it.
Judy Canzoneri –
Not an engrossing read I did not like it as I expected a more personal approach from Olive. Just a flat retelling of her time without feeling. Still don't know what is true of untrue. Another person making money off a sad person! Maybe I didn't understand that this was just a chronicle of different assumptions of her life, if so, I apologize.

A life filled with tragedy. Olivia Oatman's story was very sad and mostly filled with one tragedy following another. Seeing most of her family massacred, then her younger sister dying. A bright spot should have been learning her brother was still alive and being reunited with him. A life filled with tragedy.

Intriguing!! I thought this was a very informative read. I learned a lot about both the19th century western America and native Americans. The length was good too as it was neither too long it too short,. Olive Oatman had a difficult and adventurous life. It's worth reading about. Intriguing!! I thought this was a very informative read.

It was a super quick read and didn’t got into a lot of extensive detail. I definitely want to find out more about Olive and I may have to read other books to do so. Super easy read - did not take very long to finish.
Vince Pillig –
Quite interesting ! Good book about the hardships of white settlers in the West . I live in Northwest Arizona and most of this took place in the area. There is a town named Oatman Az. I see no connection in the writing of this book .

Fictional biography? Seeing how no one is sure whether or not what happened to Olive is true it's hard to understand the point of this book. I gave five stars because it was interesting and a very quick read. Fictional biography?

Good, brief overview There were some new things I learned while reading this book. I did know some of the background, but not all of it. Olive Oatman was a brave teenager, turned into a brave woman.

Questions Answered I had always had questions when I saw Olive Oatman. Hers is a face one remembers. The book answered a lot of questions but left me curious for even more in depth information.
Sandra Noel –
Well, it has some biographical stuff But an extremely short book that reads like a newspaper article. It is a decent enough starting place to learn about Olive Oatman, but more reading is necessary for sure.

A brief accounting of the turbulent life of Olive Oatman This book makes an attempt at a factual retelling of the story of Olive Batman. It is a somewhat dry report but I appreciated the informatio.

I have seen pictures of this young lady online a few times and was curious about her face tattoo but never knew anything about her history! What a story!

It is a short good book. I never knew the story of the tattooed girl captured by the native Americans. It was interesting.

Very interesting read Would recommend this book to anyone interested in American history. Would have liked more information on the Indian tribes and their demise. Good read.

Quick and simple Just enough to give you the basic information and nothing more. But enough to help you decide if you want to read more in-depth books.
