GUEST,Hungry Child Lyr Req: Songs about the Ohio River (44) RE: Lyr Req: Songs about the Ohio River 28 Jan 21

The lyrics posted by Charlie Baum are reminiscent of the harrowing experience of Mary Draper Inglis, who was captured by the Shawnees in 1791 and eventually escaped, walking about 500 miles along the Ohio back to her settlement. There is a Wikipedia article about her and an excellent fictionalized version of her escape by J.A. Thom, "Follow the River."
