The Captives (DVD)
Inspired by the true story of Mary Draper Ingles, she is twenty-three years old when the conflict known as the French and Indian War begins. Shawnee warriors raid the settlement of Draper's Meadows; Mary, her young children, her sister-in-law, and Henry Lenard survive the attack but are taken as captives to "the Ohio Country." Mary escapes and endures a harrowing journey through hundreds of miles of wilderness as she follows the Ohio, Kanawha, and New Rivers homeward. Written and produced by West Virginian Jude Miller.
