Captive Journey!

have stumbled across Paint Creek holding little Georgie on her hip. Where you stop to unpack your picnic buffet, Mary's captors may have offered their charges some blackberries and roasted turtle meat to sustain them for another ten miles. Where you, from the comfort of your car, see the beautiful redbud blooming along the road bank in spring, Mary may have spied the wild comfrey, with which she tended her sister-in-law's wounded arm. Even with the noise of traffic on the interstate highway never far away, the gurgling of the riffles and waterfalls of Paint Creek can carry your imagination back to Mary's ordeal.

You will find yourself asking the question that all modern readers of Mary's story ask, "Could I do what Mary did?"
