Pricketts Fort Memorial Foundation will be hosting a book signing for, A  Woman of courage on the West Virginia Frontier, Phebe Tucker Cunningham by Robert Thompson on May 12th at 2pm at the Visitor Center at Pricketts Fort State Park.

Life on the West Virginia frontier was a daily struggle of survival for Phebe Tucker Cunningham, that meant the loss of her four children at the hands of the Wyandot tribe and being held captive for three years until legendary renegades Simon Girty and Alexander McKee arranged her freedom. Author Robert Thompson recounts the harrowing story of this courageous woman, from her marriage at Prickett's Fort in 1780 to her return to the shores of the Monongahela. Thompson describes in vivid detail early colonial life in the Alleghenies and the ways of the Wyandot, providing historical context for this unforgettable sage.

Robert Thompson is a historian living in the St. Louis, Missouri area. A former career military officer, he has a bachelor's degree in history from Texas Tech University and was a Distinguished Graduate of American Military University, from which he holds a degree in Military Studies- Civil War. His previous works includes "William Averell's Cavalry Raid on the Virginia & Tennessee Railroad," published in November 2000 issue of America's Civil War, and "Battle of Cold Harbor: The Folly and Horror," which appeared in the November 2006 issue of Military History.
