I’m in the ninth form and it’s amazing to read such an excellent book. Catherine was very courageous and sometimes forward in her speech. A must read.
This is a good book that tells about Catherine Carey Logan's life with the Lenape Indians of Delaware Valley, Pennsylvania.
This book is amazing. Catharine is a girl tooken away from her family. AND INDIANS! perfect
Awesome book! Catharine is so awesome! I like how instead of torturing her when she's captured, an old women and her grown daughter treat her like thier daughter in place of her real daughter! I have the old version, not this version.
