Taken by the Shawnee

May   5    5 pm
Sallie Bingham

In 1779, Sallie Bingham’s ancestor Margaret Erskine left Virginia with her husband and baby. Heading west, her family was murdered and she was captured by the Shawnee, who brought her to live among them for the next four years. Sallie recounts this fascinating story of capture, survival, progress, healing, and return with lush descriptions and respect for all involved with Margaret’s complicated story.
