Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Resilience and physical stamina enabled her to escape, Tarble is woman as victor.' -The War in Words (2009) 'Captivity apparently awakens Tarble's powers of dissent.' -Bound and Determined (1996) 'Helen Tarble and Minnie Carrigan were both captured by Indians during the Sioux outbreak, both wrote about their fears of death before they were finally rescued.' -Westering Women and the Frontier Experience (1982) The stories of those pioneers who have survived captivity among tribes during hostile outbreaks along frontier settlements are full of harrowing interest.

Looking back I saw the whole band we had left coming after us, and heard the reports of three guns. The dreadful truth flashed upon me; the Indians were killing us! Several bullets struck the wagon.' Tarble relates that after her capture and during her ensuing captivity 'they put me at work and found plenty of it to do. I chopped wood, brought water, gathered corn from the fields and fed the horses, and all the time I was closely watched and never allowed to go alone, a squaw always keeping at my side.
