A 45-minute, first-person characterization of the true story of Mad Anne Bailey; an American heroine.
Following her first husband's death in the Battle of Point Pleasant in October 1774, Anne donned buckskin leggings under her petticoat, put on her husband's hunting shirt, and volunteered as a scout, hunter and messenger. She became a familiar sight in the Kanawha Valley carrying dispatches from Fort Lee, Fort Randolph and Fort Savannah. With her rifle at hand and hatchet in her belt, she came to be known as "Mad Anne" to some and "The White Squaw of the Kanawha Valley" to others.
