This video, "The Oatman Massacre," aims to distinguish historical fact from embellished narrative surrounding a tragic 1851 event where the Oatman family was attacked by Yavapai Native Americans. Olive and Mary Ann Oatman were taken captive and later traded to the Mojave people, while their brother Lorenzo embarked on a search. The description highlights the influence of Rev. Stratton's best-selling novel, 'Captivity of the Oatman Girls,' on the story's popular perception, which was reportedly rife with hyperbole and xenophobia of the era. The content seeks to present a more accurate account of the events.
