Where we left off in part I of our tale of Olive Oatman. Olive was grieving the death of her sister Mary Ann, who succumbed to a severe famine that killed many of the Mohave Native Americans holding the girls in captivity. Olive’s life was spared because of the mammoth efforts of her adoptive Native American mother, Aespaneo, to keep her alive by providing food that she refused to even share with the tribe. At this moment, Olive must have believed that her only living relative had died, as her mother, father, and siblings were killed in a massacre in Arizona three years prior. What Olive didn’t know, however, is that her brother, Lorenzo Oatman, had survived the initial attack in 1851 despite being severely wounded and left for dead by the Yavapais, and there were efforts underway to reunite her with her brother.
