Good story telling, I’ve heard this one lord of times. My only complaint would be using words like “squaw”. It’s a derogatory and demeaning term to indigenous peoples.
Looking forward to more videos.

The picture of this little girl looks very similar to Summer Wells that lived in Tennessee and she went missing too. I saw the comment that said there wasn't cameras back then. This was such a sad story and so is the Summer Wells story. I couldn't imagine losing one of my children. I'm glad Caty Sage was some what okay, but I hate to think what she had to go through. Poor little girl. If there was one thing I could change in this world, that would be for all children to be safe. You wouldn't never hear of kidnappings or human trafficking or anything like that. I pray for God to protect children all over this world everyday. Thank you for sharing this story even though it breaks my heart. I have never heard of it before.
Thank you Bonnie- the picture of the little girl has a story all her own that I have never shared here- maybe one day I’ll tell her real story
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller , oh okay. You are a great story teller.
I came here to see if anyone else had that overwhelming feeling that her story was similar to Summer's!
Eerie! Glad I wasn't alone
Omg...I was just thinking the same exact thing! Poor Summer we will probably never know what she went through! That picture gave me goosebumps bumps!❤
As soon as I looked at this picture I thought the same thing ,, remarkably like sweet Summer 🙏🏾❤️🥲
I'm Native American, I'm Diegueno aka Kumeyaay, this was such a sad story, but I'm so very glad to read where she was very well loved and respected, some tribes were very harsh when it came to their captive women and or children. It's still a heartbreaking story.
Thanks for sharing my friend, have a blessed day
I wish she had gone to meet with her mother one last time. I can only imagine how sad her mother was when the brothers brought the news that she was not coming.... Her mother longed for her for so many years... She must have been devastated.
💜
She may have resentment for what she felt may have happened
I wish she had gone to her mother as well!! At least to hug her and see her so her mother might die in peace. 😭
What a nightmare this poor little helpless girl went through! But I'm glad she found her peace in later years to come! She was definitely a survivor! 💕
She was a surviver
The nightmare was at the hand of a white man. Native Americans cared for her which shows who the real savages are.
I’m from and grew up in Appalachia Kentucky and my old Pappy could tell a story and I never I thought I’d ever see anyone who could beat him, but sir you give pappy a run for the money. He’d tell stories of my ancestors that came from Scotland got a land grant also and us grandchildren could listen for hours, better than any TV which we never had in those days. Till I die these mountains are in my blood and the memories are wonderful and thank God I was born in and to a family with such rich history, keep up the work, I will be following you for these wonderful stories.
I’m honored, thank you so much
She survived. A miracle. Remarkable child and woman. Happy she lived her life.🌷🌷
Amen !
I am a descendent of Katie Sage on my Fathers side. I’ve heard about Katie all my life. My Grandma was Berti May Sage born in 1878. I hurt when I think of how Kati must have felt. This story of Kati goes down through the family with sadness.
Great story. Sad but also good that the girl grew to become a leader of her "adopted" people. So many stories of kidnappings do not have a positive outcome. Thank you for sharing 👍
❤️
Quite a few white women from then preferred the more civil and humane treatment they received from Native Americans than they did their own white families, white husbands, and white society in general. BTW, press x to doubt, that she became a leader of her "adopted" people, sound like white propaganda to me.
The picture of the little girl reminded me of Summer Moon Utah Wells, she has been missing for almost 2 years now June 15th. She was 5 at the time and just a little wisp of a girl whose head had been been shaved, but she had fine, very blond hair and beautiful blue eyes. Please pray she is found soon. There are thousands of us who have been praying for her return and the truth about what really happened to her. 🙌🙏🙌
Amen
I came on here to say the same thing! I've been following her story. Such a sad situation!!
Her mother is involved in Summer’s disappearance. That’s all I got.
I hope you find her, may the Great One help you... 😑
Came here for this comment
In my heart I was hoping Caty would be willing to take the journey and see her mom one last time.. but life is real not a fantasy. I’m glad that she had a good life and was loved deeply.
💜
I am an South African and many kids got kidnapped here in those days and their story has never been told😰 thanks for sharing this heartbreak story🙏🏽
Thank you so much my friend
Were they stolen and sold to American democrats in slavery?
In those days eh let's be clear IT STILL HAPPENS NOW HERE.
I am a descendant of Caty Sage on my mother’s side. I have heard this story all my life. Her father James raised fine horses and some men had stolen horses from him before Caty’s kidnapping and a posse went looking for the horses and found them grazing. The thief had apparently hidden. They recovered the horses. They always felt Caty’s kidnapping was to get back at her father. There are 2 books about this. “Red Trails and White” by Bonnie Ball and “Yourowquains A Wyandot Indian Queen”. Thank you for remembering Caty. I’ve often thought about how terrified she was. Just 5 years old. It was in Trade Tennessee that he traded Caty.
I love all things history and I will be sure to read these stories.
Yes- the facts you mention are from the book Yourowquains: a wyandot queen, the story of Caty Sage. That is the book I read that inspired this story.
I too am a descendant of Caty's Mom Lovice Ott and her father James Sage.
@Karen Brewer see, you are the one who keeps the history alive and tuthful. Anytime coffee, beer, wine, whiskey or twa it is on me. Im in canton nc
Yall bout to have a rwunion
I am a Sage on my Mothers side. Recently, a cousin sent this story to some of us relatives. What a surprise to see it on RUclips.
How bout that! Thanks for watching
My grandmother's last name was Sage. My great grandfather lived in Kansas and was kidnapped as a young boy. He was taken out west and escaped after a few years and made his way back home. I found the story while doing ancestry research. I heard it told in my family but always thought it was exaggerated , but it wasn't !
This story about a stolen child on the frontier in 1700s and early 1800s wasn't all that uncommon, unfortunately. The sacrifices endured by these mountain folks were many. I would venture to say that events like this initiated the Indian removal act created by another Tennessean President Andrew Jackson. This was a tragedy for all people involved. I find this to be a sad story for all people involved. Cady survived to become grandmother of her nation. Her family endured a life of not knowing. Cady experienced the removal from their homelands and the trail of tears. Thank you JD for bringing history to a new generation. 👍👍
Well said James
❤
@@KoolT 👍
Did they treat these stolen children well?
@@jae6335 from what I know of this story she was treated very well along with 2 male captives.
Thank you for another true Appalachia story about real Appalachian people. Thank you for doing the research about these people and then telling their story.
Thank you and Merry Christmas!
This was an amazing story. I had never heard of Caty Sage before, now I will never forget her. Now I want to know more.
I recommend the book yourowquians queen of the wyandots by bill bland
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller ~ Thank you. I actually found that book on the internet last night when my curiosity over took me and I started looking up Caty Sage 😁
I enjoy listening to these old tales of the past. It is always intriguing and told so very well. I am born and raised in the Blue Ridge Mountains of western North Carolina and can so relate to these stories of this neck of the woods. Thank you so much for your great stories. I hope to read more and more!
Thank you!
I live in Virginia and there is so much rich history here ,I absolutely love your channel and the narrator has the perfect accent and he puts so much energy and emotions into the story!!! ❤xoxo❤
❤️
Families were bonded together closely. Religion was sometimes the only social event. Yes times were harsh but simpler. Not only did family help family out but the community were close and helped too. There was no phones, TV's, computers or video games to take attention away from actual interaction with each other. Tales were told, Herbal healers were honored, porch sitting a must and vegetables grown and preserved which no canned goods today can match the wonderful flavors. Weaving made cloth, feed sack dresses and shirts were sewn on peddler sewing machines, quilts created and all items needed were treasured. These Appalachian people were strong, determined, survivers and respectful to each other, the Earth, plants and animals. I wish i could go back for weeks and learn from my Great great grandma all her knowledge of herbs, plants, leaves, bark, etc because much has been lost.
Well said my friend
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller thank you my Grandma told me true stories about her growing up in Brevard NC and as an adult. I begged her for them.
I grew up in W.V. before welfare handouts people had to work together, stayed together,and loved their families.
@@robinluich6626 exactly. Same way my Mama grew up.
What a wonderful account. I wish I could go back with you and sit listening at her knees. God bless Ruth x
Wow I just love your stories and the roughness in your voice .. I could listen to you for hours. Such a sad heartfelt story. I did think that she would have wanted to see her mother after all those years but at least she was able to meet her brothers. ❤ it was bittersweet 👏
Thank you Angie- yes- she did want to see her mother- she initially agreed to go- but after a couple days, she changed her mind because she knew that neither her mother or herself would be able to understand anything the other was saying
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller or unlock painful memories that were kept hidden. Sad yet interesting story
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller - By that time such an arduous trip could've proved the end of Caty too.
@@frostyfrances4700 Exactly, traveling from Kansas to Virginia and back as an elderly woman, was risking death
Growing up in NC, I read about this story, most likely from reading a book about Granny Moses. It was an awesome re-telling with so many great details from Caty Sage’s perspective. I’ve always enjoyed learning the history of the beginnings of this land, and glad she ended up with the Wyandot. She was obviously a strong and wise woman. I feel for her family that she was torn away from. They endured a lifetime of pain and grief from the actions of one evil man’s greed. But she overcame and was a treasure to the Wyandot people. So resilient, these first settlers were. Amazingly sad story with an ending that provided some closure to her birth family. Just as foretold by Granny Moses. It’s all just so fascinating. Well done, JD
Thank you Jon, you know, this was the first time I had heard of Granny Moses. Do you have any recommended reading or links for her? if so, email me at theappalachianstoryteller@gmail.com
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller not much, I’m afraid. I will reach out via email soon. Gonna have to dig through some boxes of books in storage, but I’d love to help out any way I can. This is a worthy cause, especially in these times we now live. Appreciate your efforts to bring the light. Talk to you soon.
Please tell me the name of the book about Granny moses
Fascinating. So glad that at least she was carried away to a new life with meaning and lived among people who raised and loved her and gave her an identity and a purposeful life within their ancient traditional society. She must have seen and experienced so much of a way of life which was quickly to vanish forever.
It’s a beautiful inspiring tragedy
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller Indeed!
You have such a wonderful way of telling stories. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. I can’t get enough!
Thank you so much! I try to tell them my own way
A story which as a parent had me emotional. As my daughter now 35 was a blond hairded blue eyed little girl once. Actually she is 1/4 Algonquin through her Mum. Truly i felt the Fathers pain. Yet at least the tribe who took her in. As one of their own and later Caty became the Chiefs Wife. Im thankful they looked after her and loved her as one of their own. Great story to listen to.....yet so many mixed emotions listening to it. 💪🏻🙏🏻✨
Thank you Thomas
Ouch, don't let your guard down yet; #1 trafficked product, blue-eyed, blond haired females in the good old United States of America. Rumors have it; it's keeping old pedo, Joe, and the US government a float. Your job is never done, protect your baby girl.
is your daughter adopted, or are you trying to flex by saying you are half Algonquin (which is a language pattern and a large non-specific group, and not really a tribe, I'm Anishinaabeg and I speak Algonquin) or was your mother a Cherokee princess?
@@WEptown no I was simply feeling as a parent. For the ones in the true story who lost their young daughter. My Ex Wife ís 1/3 Algonquin. I felt for their parents as my daughter was a blond haired child. Feeling for their loss. Yet understanding her at the end. Wanting to stay with those she loved. 💪🏻🙏🏻✨
😮d
As a native of Georgia, I for some reason have always had a fasination with the lives of
Appalachia. I find it intriguing that a diverse group of people actually exist right here in the US. Thanks for you storytelling, new subscriber here!
Thank you! Glad to have you here!
My heart breaks for the mother and father but this is one beautifully put together story. Fear, heartbreak and happiness.
Well done!
Thank you ❤️
Such a sad story of a five year old, but what she endured was terrible. Yet she lived to become queen of her family. I was heartbroken to hear that most of her siblings passed away never seeing her again. Life can be full of harsh realities yet God always has a good plan! ❤
Amen my friend
Seriously you this as a good plan to kidnap and whatever else to a small child. Religion is fucked up seriously.
Your stories are always so good, you are a natural story teller.
Mary Jemison was another white child raised and lived with Native Americans. She lived her last years in Western NY. Her cabin is in Letchworth State Park.
I’ll have to look her story up
The story of “Mary Jemison” has always been a favorite of mine…I used to live very near her cabin, and have visited several times 💕
@@mariedavis577 me too, I read her story many times and went to her cabin in Letchworth for decades. There's a marker near where she lived in Portageville NY also I think.
@@suegeew9727 👍💕
There is also Cynthia Parker. She too married a chief and was the mother of Quannah Parker. She was taken back back by her family but wanted to go back to her Indian family. Her little daughter that she had with her died of smallpox, and Cinthia starved herself to death. A tragic story also.
I’ve never been to the Appalachian mountains but what you described is who I am, a mountain man who sees helping others as not just a privilege but a necessity. Have a great day my fellow mountain folk, Jesus loves y’all
thanks so much Ben, have a blessed day
What mountains do you roam my friend?
Howdy JD. Another good story. I'm glad she didn't get hurt by the kidnapper and at least grew to have another family. Thanks for sharing this story.
Thank you Troy
I kinda doubt she didn't get "hurt" by the dirty pervert... just saying, back then the age girls were molested was very early... and there had to be a reason Caty was targeted (and not just for a horse....because who is going to flee that distance at that speed for a trade for a horse, while stealing a horse is much easier than trading a child for a horse. Not to mention, riding a horse that far and fast is sure to ruin it, why ruin a horse to get a horse??)
I could listen to you all day
Thank you for bringing this precious little girls story to light
Lest She Be Forgotten
🌹🕯️🌹🕯️🌹🕯️🌹🕯️🌹🕯️🌹🕯️🌹
Thank you ma'am!
Thank you as always JD. You had me living and traveling alongside Caty every step of the way. What a wonderful way to spend a few minutes listening to your stories and voice enjoying a cup of coffee on a Saturday morning! Thanks again, my friend. jj
Thank you John, have a good en my friend
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller Stay Blessed my friend.
Possible modern day equivalent currently STILL MISSING poor little vulnerable innocent SUMMER MOON UTAH WELLS.
💜
This is kind of like the Francis Slocum story. She was take by the Delaware Indians and ended up in Miami county in Peru Indiana. He brothers found her at a old age but knew she was there sister because of her finger was cut off as a your child. She also stay with her Miami Indian family. These are both great true story’s . Love reading these kind of history stories.
Thank you Cynthia!
Well done. What an adventure Caty's life was.
Thank you Nancy
Thank you for this interesting bit of history. Sad for her mother & father but at least her brother saw her and praise God she was loved and treated well by her new family 🤗🇿🇦
Thank you so much my friend, have a great day!
I'm Kirk Sage , my father was from Virginia and had a brother named James
wow!
Imagine how frightened and confused she must have been at such a young age. However I'm glad she ended up where she did and was taking care of had a good life. Sad she didn't get to see her parents and they didn't get to see her... i guess at least they found out what had happened to her and that she was okay
Her mother found out, her dad died never knowing what happened
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller How sad...
Thank you for the bitter sweet story 👏👏👏👏
Thank you so much, my friend
My last name is Sage, by marriage, Ive never heard any storys with my last name.... this is so tragic for Catys birth family but this woman was accepted by these people to become one of their own, wow...
Welcome Sage
The comments are a wonderful addition to this story. Thank you everyone 💓
❤️ The community on this channel is amazing!
Many thing's in life I've been grateful for & this channel I found the other day is definitely one of the highlights of my life. I live in south western part of Va & have so since I was born in 1982 & the stories of Appalachia is so fascinating & even more so with the way You tell it. God Bless & keep up the magnificent beautiful work.
What a wonderful comment, Thank you so much Erik, welcome to the channel. We are so glad to have you here!
My family is from Grayson County VA. I have never heard this, it's unusual to hear stories about these parts. Thank you for sharing some of the history of our parts, even if they aren't pretty.
Thank you Stephanie, email me at theappalachianstoryteller@gmail.com and ill send you a free Appalachian storyteller sticker for your car!

I think the same. She reminds me of Summer
❤️
Loved this story. I hope you do others like this one.
Thank you Marilyn
*I've just visited Appalachia and I have an admiration of the fortitude of those who learned to survive in that beautiful yet harsh terrain.* *Now I need to hear more of their stories.*
you've come to the right place
What a gripping story, again filled with sadness and loss. What a remarkable woman she became however. I think she made the right decision. Going back is never the right decision. Just ask Heraclitus. Thanks, JD. Amazing compilation as ever. From Ruth x
Thank you Ruth!
Incredibly amazing story, you do bring the fantastic tales to me! ❤
Thank you so much ❤️
What a great story! Of course, for her first family, it must have been horrendous not to know what was become of her, but even if it began horribly due to an awful man, I'm glad Caty found such great people who actually cared for her enough to make her part of their family, and that she lived a full life!
a tragic, beautiful, tragic, inspiring, sad story all rolled into one
I knew when you said the New River and then the Kanawha River, that they had crossed into what will be West Virginia. ❤ from West Virginia
Yup- they went thru West by God Virginia
Every beautiful, but very sad story, but at the end, her brothers and her mother found out that she lived and grew up and had children of her own, even though they were not of the same race, but she was alive and that is a big gift from our God.
❤️
"... they were not of the same race..." WTF? *What's with **_THAT_** THOROUGHLY RACIST STATEMENT, anyhow?* 👎🤨
*They were **_ALL_** HUMAN BEINGS, Miss "ROSE1925," just as YOU ARE! Don't you **_EVER_** forget that!*
🤘😘 🖖 LL&P ( That's "Live Long & Prosper," Miss Rose.)
@@dixietenbroeck8717 😮! 🤫
They are the same race, the human race. Maybe you meant to say different cultures.
We need to honor and learn from Old Days, but I don't see why some people pine for them. Yes, life was simpler. But it was also harsher, even under Caty's extenuating circumstances. I'm so glad that for her, it turned out far better than could've been expected. And she did grow to wisdom indeed.
Her journey is terrifying and inspiring at the same time
Very true, I was born in 1956 and I miss the 60's but in the 60's most people didn't have air conditioners even in Alabama because they were just too expensive, now even people on welfare have air conditioners! As a child we only had 3 channels on a 19 inch black and white TV and I was my dads remote control now we can watch color new release movies on our cell phones! In the 50's and 60's people actually starved today there is no reason to go hungry with all the help that is available from the government! Yeah the "good old days" were only good for those who could afford it!
@@living-wellon-less5669 - One main reason we can live better than before (if not well) is bc durable goods are comparatively far cheaper than in the past. Even just in the 90's when personal computers happened, no matter what I couldn't find a decent one for under $1200 which would be what today? Around $1600-1800? Took me 2 solid years to save up for it. Not so food, but at least those of us with access can garden to help out there. People on welfare can't be said to have it 'easy' in any respect. But thank God fewer outright starve. For the unhoused, I'm sure it's hell. .... Also in the 60's, the world still wasn't as hot as it's getting now. I don't want to go back to any nostalgic myths, but I'm still glad to be one of the first boomers. My race may be in the home stretch but that's okay too bc I know the final destination. See you there, I trust. :) BTW, with a little knowledgeable and patient lurking, a top of the line Samsung Chromebook can be had open-box for not much over $100 these days. If anyone reading this likes Chromebooks the way I do, there's a dandy website for gently used ones called chromebooksrus. It's a dot com of course. Wouldn't meet JD's needs at all, but for most users they're excellent.
@@frostyfrances4700 I know why we live better, the 1960's was better than the 1930's and the 1930's was better than the 1890's it's called progress! And that global warming nonsense doesn't phase me, I live in Alabama and so far this year it is the coolest I have ever experienced, right now it's 65 normally this time of year you're hiding in the shade or in the house with the air conditioner and we've only had 2 hot days this year so don't waste your breath on me about that garbage!
@@living-wellon-less5669 - Why the sudden anger over the mere mention of science? Nobody said every day would be hotter than the previous. We're entering a period of wild temperature swings, the hot sometimes hotter than ever as well as what we would've called unseasonal coolness. But that's no reason to be hot under the collar for nothing at all. Peace to you. You're gonna need it, dear heart. Science is nothing but the honorable and *reverent* study of God's handiwork. If that seems like garbage to you, it's still not actual garbage. Let's try to walk together as fellow humans rather than turning up the heat on purpose. That's not going to do any of us any good.
What an encredible story!!
Thank you Crystal
I, too, ask our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to protect the defenseless children and the elderly. These two groups of victims are mostly defenseless and really need to be cared for and protected by their loved ones. God bless and keep them safe from all evil. Amen.
amen
Amen 🙏🏻
Thank you for sharing this incredible story
Thank you Stone Reaper!
I got to hear more about this brave woman.
It’s a great story for sure
Thank-You for this story. When it first began, I thought it was going to end with Caty being KILLED; so at least she survived. But the HEARTACHE her parents and brothers went through is soooooooo SAD. At least now they are ALL TOGETHER, NEVER TO BE SEPERATED AGAIN!!!!
Thank you ❤️
Back in the day, we all had a grandma Moses. She was the wisest, and yes, a witch, that everyone respected and went to for most everything.
you lived a good life
Wow. Once again you amaze me with your stories. They are better than television ❤. My favorite story of yours is the Christmas story . Thanks friend.
Thank you for the kind words
When we read these through the lense of modern time, it seems awful she didn't go see her mother. But its got to be hard to crack that door on an old life back open. And in almost every story of a child kidnapped and raised by Native tribes, they almost never want to go back even if they had the opportunity. Cynthia Ann Parker was the first story like this i ever heard. It baffeled me as a child. But as awful as it is they were taken, they had more rights and held in higher esteem as native women than they would have otherwise. Its such complicated issue.
Another Amazing Story told by a true wordsmyth.❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much my friend, have a fabulous day
Thank you good teacher. For another historical Appalachian story.. I had never heard of Katy sage. But truly a intresting and fascinating life that she did live. Very mysterious that the old witch was right.
Thank you Elizabeth
A very interesting story. You have me hooked now
🙏 thank you
What a story. Oh my, what heart break for parents. Isn’t that something? You’d think you would have been safe living way out in the country back then. You just never know.
Exactly, and there was nothing they could do
I do enjoy your storytelling my entire heritage is from the Appalachias.
Thank you Nancy!
Well told. Actually gave me chills, especially at the end. Really well done. Thank you. Subscribing now.
Welcome, glad to have you here!
Thank you so much for these wonderful stories. My family was from many if the areas way way back and I enjoy the stories very much.
I’m happy you’re enjoying them. Thank you so much.
great story JD, thanks for another great narration,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Thank you 🙏
Awesome story 👏 🙌 👌
Thank you 😀
I imagine the life was hard in those days and in Appalachia. I hope the men and women had a lot of love for each other and for their family because I doubt there was anywhere else to go. They had each other.
Yes ma’am
Awwww so sad . It only takes a minute and your child can be gone .
Yes ma’am
That was such a well told story. You have an amazing voice and these stories suit it so well.
Thank you Emma! ❤️
JD I love your voice! So authentic to this time period!
Thank you so much ♥️
Reminds me of the story of Cynthia Ann Parker who was kidnapped by the Comanches in Texas . Another interesting story of children adopted into tribes of the First People.
very interesting
That is so sad. I understand her family's desire to see her again buy, I understand her needing to stay where she is.
The land was contested by the colonists, not the other way around. The “natives” as you so eloquently put it, were rightfully fighting to keep their land.
Thank you for your kind words
Just a note as I have heard it - none of the American lands were "owned" by any native Americans. It changed hands many times. Therefore when other nationalities came into the picture, it was really no different than what was already happening. Each side had those who were evil and brutal and also those who were generous and kind.

Absolutely heartbreaking but happened so many times😢

Great but sad story, JD you are the greatest story teller. Caty had a wonderful life with the tribe she had been traded to from the Cherokee Tribe.That was hwr family, children and probably grandchildren. This was an awesome story. ❤
Honestly there's no telling how many kids were raised with an NA tribe. This is one I've never heard.
I didn’t mention it in the story but there were two other white men in Catys tribe
That was a tremendous story , loved it , a seat hanger
Thank you, brother. Glad you enjoyed it.
