Son of White Captive Leads a Turbulent Texas Frontier Tale
A long, fragmentary account traces the life of a white captive girl taken during a Comanche raid on a Texas settlement in the 1830s. Brought up among the Comanches, she learned little English and avoided claiming white kin until near the Civil War era. Her story intersects with Quanah Parker, her son, who rose to power among the Comanches and later forged peace with the United States, while leaders like Ross pursued fierce campaigns to exterminate the tribe.
