The Book “Kidnapped by Natives” is a frontier adventure, capturing the love, conflict, and tragedies that challenged many of our ancestors. As many immigrants came to America to find freedom and a new life, they found their lives changed in unexpected ways.
In the book a bold pioneer brings his family to the American wilderness with great aspirations, but his dreams were crushed when natives kidnap his wife and son. Over the years he searched relentlessly for his lost family members. His son was raised by natives and later married a native girl. They enjoyed a life of natural freedom that his father only dreamed of. As the generations passed the legend of a boy being kidnapped by natives and his marriage to a native was the only family legends that survive the centuries.
