Question: What Mohave County town is named for a girl who survived Native American captivity in the 1850s?

Answer: Oatman. The town is named after Olive Oatman, who was kidnapped at age 14 by members of the Yavapai tribe after her family was killed. She later lived among the Mohave, where she received a distinctive facial tattoo. She was reunited with her brother in 1856 after authorities at Fort Yuma negotiated her release.
