À propos de cet audio

In 1851 Olive Oatman was a 13-year-old pioneer traveling west toward Zion with her Mormon family. Within a decade she was a white Indian with a chin tattoo, caught between cultures. The Blue Tattoo tells the harrowing story of this forgotten heroine of frontier America.

Orphaned when her family was brutally killed by Yavapai Indians, Oatman lived as a slave to her captors for a year before being traded to the Mohave, who tattooed her face and raised her as their own. She was fully assimilated and perfectly happy when, at 19, she was ransomed back to white society. She became an instant celebrity, but the price of fame was high, and the pain of her ruptured childhood lasted a lifetime.

Based on historical records, including letters and diaries of Oatman's friends and relatives, The Blue Tattoo is the first book to examine her life, from her childhood in Illinois - including the massacre, her captivity, and her return to white society - to her later years as a wealthy banker's wife in Texas.

I was disappointed with this book, perhaps I expected a ‘story’ but it was more like a documentary and the narrator was boring, I had difficult finishing it.

Disappointing

Very interesting. Nearly at the end my home town was discussed. That was a surprise and I learned something new about it. A Canadian connection.

I really enjoyed Mifflin's "The Blue Tattoo" and am grateful to Audible for the free listen! I learned a lot of new things about the perils of the Oregon trail (mostly from white scammers), as well as the extremely beautiful descriptions of the Mojave people and way of life. I disagree with other reviewers online who find this to be anti-Mormon. It is not at all. Every citizen of California should know about the Mojave people.

Fantastic historical analysis
