Summary 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.
