Courageous Pioneer Women of Early America
A fragmented reminiscence highlights the first women west of the Alleghenies, notably Mrs. Joan Draper and daughter Mary Ingles. It recalls Mary Ingles and others fleeing Shawnee captivity, her birth during a march, salt-making tasks, and a perilous 40 day trek toward safety. Also noted is Elizabeth Zane's famed powder run during a frontier siege and other skilled women who carried news and aid across rough terrain.
