- 16497: Follow the River: Thom versus Original Account
- ... the frontier people had to live. However, there are a few deviations that Thom makes. These differences may be small, but they have a major impact on the understanding of the factual account of Mary's journey. In this paper, I will attempt to describe some of the similarities and deviations between Follow the River and the original accounts by John Hale and John Ingles, Sr. and describe how this distorts the understanding of the true account. After reading the original accounts of Mary Ingles' escape, I found that Thom's version of the event is similar in many ways to the actual account. Thom was very accurate in his description of the actual massacre that occurred at Draper's Meadow. In the account written by John Ingles, Sr., he names the people that were either taken captive of killed by the Indians. He writes that his mother and her two children, Thomas and ...

Neither side would change their mind during this time. I believe that the suspension was a little extreme. I didn’t like how the school board handled the case.
