In 1851 Olive Oatman was a thirteen-year old pioneer traveling west toward Zion; with her Mormon family. Within a decade; she was a white Indian with a chin tattoo; caught between cultures. The Blue Tattoo tells the harrowing story of this forgotten heroine of frontier America. Orphaned when her family was brutally killed by Yavapai Indians; Oatman lived as a slave to her captors for a year before being traded to the Mohave; who tattooed her face and raised her as their own. She was fully assimilated and perfectly happy when; at nineteen; she was ransomed back to white society. She became an instant celebrity; but the price of fame was high and the pain of her ruptured childhood lasted a lifetime.
