This looks familiar.

I have a book in mind but the title I have left behind somewhere. I'll find it soon and reply. But it may or may not completely describe what happened in the story.

Found the book I was thinking about. Indian Captive: The Story of Mary Jemison. I don't think it's a true story though.

it is a true story i read it for school

Oh sorry. Nevermind, the book I had in mind just had a mention of this.

That's what I was getting at.

Anyone?
