Margot Mifflin will make a presentation and will be signing copies of her new book, The Blue Tattoo: The Life of Olive Oatman, at 7:00 p.m. on January 14, 2010 at the Arizona Historical Society Museum at Papago Park, 1300 N. College Ave., Tempe, Arizona.
The event is free to the public. Copies of the book will be available for purchase.
Mifflin's book is the first modern biography of Olive Oatman, a Mormon pioneer who was captured, tattooed, and raised by Mohave Indians in the 1850s.
Novelist Elmore Leonard notes, “Margot Mifflin has written a winner… The Blue Tattoo offers quite intense drama along with thorough scholarship.”
