This is the incredible true story of Eliza Lucas Pinckney and the indigo trade in the 1700s. School children know her as \"the indigo girl\" for her early work to produce the costly blue dye from the indigo plant, but she was more than that. This is her story, and why she is an unexpected icon of American history.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFaced with sickness, loneliness, loss and more responsibilities than any young girl should have on her small shoulders, Eliza kept on trying, following one set-back after another to save the homes of her family and the enslaved people whose lives depended on them.
