Frances Slocum

This moving poem tells the story of Frances Slocum, a young white girl who was kidnapped by Native Americans in 1778 and later adopted by the Miami tribe. Caleb Earl Wright's lyrical verse captures both the tragedy of Frances's abduction and the beauty of her life among the Miami. Frances Slocum: The Lost Sister is a tribute to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of love to transcend cultural boundaries.
