Title:  Bridal Journey
Author:  Dale Van Every

ISBN:  0553231294

From the back cover:

1778 - the rich Ohio wilderness purchased with men's blood and women's tears.  As the wedding party travelled through the trackless forest, the Shawnees fell upon them, butchering and scalping.  But one fanatical warrior kept the golden-haired bride alive as a trophy.  When he finished with her, he would sacrifice her to his god in a long, slow, torturous ritual.  Dale Van Every tells the violent and exciting sotry of the men and women who suffered and fought for the untold riches of the Allegheny frontier.
