Son of White Captive in Lone Star Frontier Raid
A fragmented 1860s tale recounts a white captive girl captured with her brother during a Texas frontier raid. She forgets English, lives with Comanches, and is later recognized as Quanah Parker’s mother, Sue, who is linked to Capt Barker Fort Parker and the Texas conflict era. The piece blends romance, raid, and survival with references to Texas politics and postwar figures.
