5.0 out of 5 stars A non-hollywood view of the "noble" savage, December 30, 1998
By A Customer
Tragic story of a pioneer teenage girl who survives a family massacre only to be held capitive for many years by heartless, blood-thirtsy So West Indians. If one takes this poor girl's experiences to heart, they will never consider Indians the "innocent victims of the white man" again. The unexpected & unique benefit of this book is finding the site where the massacre occurred, an adventure in itself.

4.0 out of 5 stars OATMAN GIRLS....A TALE OF TRAGEDY, March 8, 1998
By A Customer
The book is very well written and the details make the reader feel as if he/she is present at each narration. The trauma and ordeals that Olive and Mary Ann are put through are enough to bring tears to anyone's eyes. The moral in the entire narration seems to be to appreciate what you have. Not everyone is fortunate enough to lead a "normal" life.

5.0 out of 5 stars book is a narritive taken from brother and olive, December 28, 2005
a very touching book that truely pulls at the heat strings.

very acurately chronicles life traveling across the prarrie till there altimate fate, from their fathers poor decisions.

it is truely a sda and true account of the treatmeant and hastility of the (Apache) Yavapi indians and passing to the Mohave tribe and eventual release.

i wish it would have went on to tell a little of her life after captivity, marraige (lack of having a baby and adopting) and her surviving brother lorenzos life. i seached the internet and found some of it along with the massacre site. She is burried in sherman TX. Truely a courageous and strong young women.
