Mary Ingles was a frontierswoman who, in 1755, was captured by Shawnee warriors during a raid in Virginia. She was taken to present-day Ohio, where she endured captivity for several months. Ingeniously, she escaped and made a treacherous journey back home, covering over 500 miles through wilderness and hostile territories. Her remarkable story of resilience and survival is chronicled in her own account and has become a significant part of American frontier history.
