Description: VINTAGE NOVEL Follow the River by James Alexander Thom A Novel Based on the True Ordeal of Mary Ingles “It takes a rare individual not only to see that history can live, but also to make it live for others. James Thom has that gift.”—The Indianapolis News Mary Ingles was twenty-three, happily married, and pregnant with her third child when Shawnee Indians invaded her peaceful Virginia settlement in 1755 and kidnapped her, leaving behind a bloody massacre. For months they held her captive. But nothing could imprison her spirit. With the rushing Ohio River as her guide, Mary Ingles walked one thousand miles through an untamed wilderness no white woman had ever seen. Her story lives on—extraordinary testimony to the indomitable strength of one pioneer woman who risked her life to return to her own people. — Reader Reviews: 5.0 out of 5 stars Worthy telling of a pioneer legend Anyone living in or near the New River Valley had likely heard the Mary Ingles story. When I first heard the story, I thought that someone should tell it in the form of historical fiction. I was gratified to find that Thom had done so. I was expecting a good story, but I was thoroughly impressed with his attention to detail of her harrowing trip. An enthralling read, even if you already know the basic story. — 5.0 out of 5 stars Superb writing! I never write book reviews, but this is simply one of the best historical novels I’ve ever read! The beginning was very difficult to read, but I could not put it down. The writer clearly did his research and pulls you into Mary’s story with the MOST vivid descriptions. I felt like I was right alongside her throughout her journey. I am fascinated and inspired by Ingles’ strength, and her story will stay with me. — 5.0 out of 5 stars Could not put this down Great book. I couldn’t put it down. Beautiful story telling of the best kind. Characters were brought to life, just read it.
