In introducing his book, Streets writes: "The story of Penelope Stout is one of those thrilling tales of capture and rescue from the Indians-so often associated with the history of the early settlements of our country-which reads more like fiction than reality, and which has been preserved in the memory of her numerous offspring, wherever found, for more than two hundred and fifty years."
