Synopsis
On New Year's Day in 1870, ten-year-old Adolph Korn was kidnapped by an Apache raiding party. Traded to Comaches, he thrived in the rough, nomadic existence, quickly becoming one of the tribe's fiercest warriors. Forcibly returned to his parents after three years, Korn never adjusted to life in white society. He spent his last years in a cave, all but forgotten by his family. That is, until Scott Zesch stumbled over his own great-great-great uncle's grave. Determined to understand how such a "good boy" could have become Indianized so completely, Zesch travels across the west, digging through archives, speaking with Comanche elders, and tracking eight other child captives from the region with hauntingly similar experiences. With a historians rigor and a novelists eye, Zesch paints a vivid portrait of life on the Texas frontier, offering a rare account ofcaptivity.

    Well written, factual, will hold your interest first to last page.

    Provides great insight into what it was like for a child to be taken by the Apaches and Comanches at a young age and raised to become an Indian themselves.

    much detail of conflicts of the times

    The stories are another chapter of the tragic conflicts that had been going on since the first European whites invaded the Native American homelands. The Captured children may have adapted best.
