Shamefully Plagiarized Publication.... editors, this is ok with you?,
By
This review is from: The Ordeal of Olive Oatman: A True Story of the American West (Women of the Frontier) (Library Binding)
The story was riveting, however, this is totally plagiarized from the original account published in the 19th Century that is in the public domain and available from Dover Books entitled,*Captivity of the Oatman Girls Among the Apache and Mohave Indians*. The author is listed in Rau's bibliography as "Royal B. Stratton," who wrote down the accounts of Olive Oatman and her brother, Lorenzo, although some editions put Lorenzo Oatman as a co-author. Other editions list Olive Oatman as co-author. If you look at the searchable Dover Books edition on Google Books, Rau's narrative follows Olive's own words nearly SENTENCE for SENTENCE, and then Rau pads her edition's bibliography with such titles as the Readers' Digest Edition *America's Fascinating Indian Heritage* from 1978. If this woman were a student in a freshman-level into to english comp class and pulled a stunt like this, she would be explaining herself to an academic dishonesty board at a disciplinary hearing.
