Escape of Mrs Inglis From Indian Captivity in Virginia
The narrative recounts Mrs. Inglis and Mrs. Draper captured during Braddock era disturbances. Inglis aids her wounded companion, endures harsh march, escapes with an elderly Dutch woman, and travels roughly 100 miles along the Ohio and Kenawha rivers to reach safety near Draper’s Meadows. She is aided by Adam Harman’s family, reunites with her husband, and their move to Vause’s fort fortifies frontier defense. The tale ends with further frontier events and Inglis family history.
