About this ebook
Author Robert Thompson recounts the harrowing story of Phebe Tucker Cunningham, from her marriage at Prickett's Fort to her return to the shores of the Monongahela.
Life on the West Virginia frontier was a daily struggle for survival, and for Phebe Tucker Cunningham, that meant the loss of her four children at the hands of the Wyandot tribe and being held captive for three years until legendary renegades Simon Girty and Alexander McKee arranged her freedom. Thompson describes in vivid detail early colonial life in the Alleghenies and the ways of the Wyandot, providing historical context for this unforgettable saga.

Reviews for A Woman of Courage on the West Virginia Frontier
1 rating1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Wonderful history of early America as well as a biography of my 5th great grandmother Phebe Tucker Cunningham. I do wish that the author could have included more about what happened to her during her three years of captivity but if the primary sources are not available, the information has simply been lost to time. Excellent sense of time with Phebe's story centered within the broader context of political, military and social history.
