Grace McIntyre (The Captive)

The Northern Santee Sioux had an uprising in Minnesota that spread to South Dakota. They raided homesteads, killing, raping and scalping all those they came upon. When they hit the McIntyre farm, they killed the parents and stole the youngest daughter, taking her with them on their rampaging. Grace was only sixteen and terrified, but she had one consolation, and that was her sister Liza, who had not been in the cabin at the time of raid. Grace hoped and prayed that God would give Liza the courage and skill to find and rescue her. She never lost faith even though it took months and hundreds of miles through the Black Hills of South Dakota.
