A Time to Care is the prequel to The Curse of Indian Gold. This is a story about an Indian princess who was kidnapped from her tribe when she was four and subsequently sold into slavery with the Shawnee of Southern Ohio (or what would eventually become Ohio). She ran away, was captured, and was going to be thrown on the fire to be consumed by the tribe. However, John Daniels asked the Shawnee chief, Cornstalk, for her hand in marriage.
Mary Alice Daniels later saved the chief's life and he gave her bottom land in Southern Ohio. She was also placed under his protection and would need it when greedy white men tried to steal her land and send her to Oklahoma territory. She refused their offerings, stood up for her rights and won.
This story plays into The Curse of Indian Gold because Mary Alice's grandson committed the atrocious act of robbing an Indian grave. He and five other men got seven pounds of gold from the grave, sold it and began living like kings. They were cursed. Read & Enjoy!
