Yourowquains:
A Wyandot Indian Queen: The Story of Caty Sage
by Bill Bland
Book Description Historical biography of Caty Sage, a five year
old white girl, kidnapped from her home in Elk Creek, Virginia in 1792.
She was carried on horseback to a Cherokee Indian camp at Trade, Tennessee,
where she was traded by her kidnappers to a Cherokee tribe. Four days after
her capture, she was taken on a grueling 600 mile trek north which included
a wold canoe ride down the New and Kanawha Rivers. In Ohio she was adopted
by Wyandot Indians and named "Yourowquains." At seventeen she married Tarhe,
Chief of the Wyandots. At age twenty-eight she became Tarhe's widow. Under
an 1817 treaty with the U.S. Government, Caty received a large tract of
Ohio land. She later married Tauyaurontoyou, a noble Wyandot warrior and
leader who too became a chief. Tauyaurontoyou became a licensed Methodist
minister and famous preacher under his translated name, "Between-the-Logs."
Following the death of Between-the-Logs, Caty married an Indian warrior
named Frost. Two years later she was again widowed. In 1843 Caty and her
Wyandot Tribe were driven out of Ohio by relentless U.S. Government pressure
urged on by land-hungry whites. She and her fellow Wyandots traveled in
wagons across Ohio and by steamboats from Ohio to Kansas. In Kansas, Caty
build a new life among many hardships. Trauma had erased her childhood
memory, but after a life as an Indian with much persecution by whites,
one day in 1848 fate put her face-to-face with a brother she had never
met. At last "Yourowquains" learned her own identity; and her aged mother
learned her little golden-haired daughter's fate.
