In 1854 Olive Oatman, a white settler, was found living among the Mohave. She had been living among the natives for five years. She was forced to leave her adoptive family and return to settler society, where she was set upon by a Methodist preacher who wanted to exploit her story for profit. Today we conclude the incredible story of Olive Oatman, the woman with the blue tattoo.
