Book excerpt: Author James T. DeShields' 1886 account of nine-year-old Cynthia Ann's abduction by the Comanches in the bloody raid on Fort Parker in 1836 is a compelling read and the record of a dark past in the Lone Star State's history. DeShield recounts Parker's life as a Comanche, her recapture a quarter-century later by Texas Rangers, and her last sad years forcefully separated from those who had become her people. Her story is profoundly enveloped in more pathos than perhaps any other of the soul-stirring episodes in America's pioneering past.

Download or read book Cynthia Ann Parker The Story of Her Capture Illustrated Edition written by James T. Deshields and published by Echo Library. This book was released on 2017-12-11 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cynthia Ann Parker (c.1825-71) was an Anglo-American who was kidnapped in 1836 aged around 10 by a Comanche war band who had massacred her family's settlement. Adopted by the Comanche, she lived with them for 24 years completely forgetting her previous life and married a chieftan with whom she had three children, including the last free Comanche chief, Quanah Parker. When she was about 34 she was recaptured by the Texas Rangers but spent her remaining 10 years refusing to adjust to white society and, heartbroken by the loss of her family, stopped eating and died of influenza in 1871. This short work published in 1886 draws on the testimonies of those connected with Parker's story and includes four photographic portraits.
Download or read book Cynthia Ann Parker the Story of Her Capture written by James DeShields and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-02-12 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a history of the kidnapping of a woman by Native Americans in Texas. From the preface: "In the month of June, 1884, there appeared in the columns of the Forth Worth Gazette an advertisement signed by the Comanche chief, Quanah Parker, and dated from the reservation near Fort Sill, in the Indian Territory, enquiring for a photograph of his late mother, Cynthia Ann Parker, which served to revive interest in a tragedy which has always been enveloped in a greater degree of mournful romance and pathos than any of the soul-stirring episodes of our pioneer life, so fruitful of incidents of an adventurous nature. From the valued narratives kindly furnished us by Victor M. Ross, Major John Henry Brown and Gen. L. S. Ross, supplemented by the Jas. W. Parker book and copious notes from Hon. Ben. F. Parker, together with most of the numerous partial accounts of the fall of Parker's Fort and subsequent relative events, published during the past fifty years; and after a careful investigation and study of the whole, we have laboriously and with much pains-taking, sifted out and evolved the foregoing narrative of plain, unvarnished facts, which form a part of the romantic history of Texas. In the preparation of our little volume the thanks of the youthful author are due to Gen. L. S. Ross, of Waco; Major John Henry Brown of Dallas; Gen. Walter P. Lane of Marshall; Col. John S. Ford of San Antonio; Rev. Homer S. Thrall-the eminent historian of Texas; Mr. A. F. Corning of Waco; Capt. Lee Hall, Indian Agent, I. T., and Mrs. C. A. West-brook of Lorena, for valuable assistance rendered. To Victor M. Ross of Laredo, Texas, the author has been placed under many and lasting obligations for valuable data so generously placed at his disposal, and that too at considerable sacrifice to the donor. From this source we have obtained much of the matter for our narrative. In submitting our little work-the first efforts of the youthful author-we assure the reader that while there are, doubtless, many defects and imperfections, he is not reading fiction, but facts which form only a part of the tragic and romantic history of the Lone Star State."
