The Courage of Sarah Noble by Alice Dalgliesh is the story of a young girl who travels with her father into Connecticut during the early 18th century, and her experiences with the native Schaghticoke.

[2] Sarah is frightened because of rumors she has heard from children about the "Indians" they would encounter,[3] but finds that the Schaghticoke are friendly to her and her father.

[citation needed] The controversy surrounding the story was also linked to some dissatisfaction about a statue erected for Sarah Noble.

[7] The New York Times Book Review said of The Courage of Sarah Noble "This story is one to be long remembered for its beautiful simplicity and dignity.

The review from Oyate is much more detailed in its analysis of content, citing that "The Courage of Sarah Noble was published in 1954, and it is very much a product of its time—a time that has come and gone.
