This sounds like a good movie script.  An interesting read about Olive Oatman, the tattoed woman who gained national attention after her return years after being abduted by Indians in 1850.  Royal B Stratton wrote a bestseller about the her story title Life Among the Indians.  However, her first husband who later on burn all possible copies of this once bestseller.  He stopped her lectures tours, and her stroy fased into folklore and legend.
