Description

Life at the West Virginia frontier was once a day by day struggle for survival. For Phebe Tucker Cunningham, that meant the lack of her four youngsters by the hands of the Wyandot tribe and being held captive for 3 years until legendary renegades Simon Girty and Alexander McKee arranged her freedom. Writer Robert Thompson recounts the harrowing story of this courageous woman, from her marriage at Prickett’s Fort in 1780 to her go back to the shores of the Monongahela. Thompson describes in vivid detail early colonial life within the Alleghenies and the ways of the Wyandot, providing historical context for this unforgettable saga.
