When Olive Oatman was just 14 years old, she was forced to witness the slaughter of nearly every single member of her family. Only she and her 8-year-old sister were spared, and for the next several years, they’d be held as captives. When Olive finally emerged from the desert she was forever marked, both physically and mentally; a young lady not truly belonging to either culture, or as a friend would describe her, a “grieving, unsatisfied woman, who somehow shook one’s belief in civilization.” Who was Olive Oatman? Why did her family decide to head west? What was life like for her in captivity? What did her tattoos mean? Are the rumors true about Olive being married into the tribe, and did she really leave children behind when she was rescued? Also discussed are the Mohave, Olive's life after captivity, and Sarah Borginness aka the Great Western! #history #wildwest #western This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp!
