DOWNLOAD EBOOKComanche Captive is the engrossing story of Laura Little-rescued by the U.S. Cavalry, torn from her Comanche-born son, and forcibly resettled in Fort Worth. Not even the walls of a sanitarium can keep her there. Back on the high plains, she meets Scott Renald, an army "redeemer" on a mission to negotiate for Indian captives. Touched by her story, he leads her search for her son. But this is also an account of the 10th Cavalry of buffalo soldiers, an African-American troop led by white officers and tasked with Indian removal. As Laura's urgent search and a rapid military campaign collide, loyalties are tested, a surprising family drama unfolds, and two civilizations absorb the impact.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKOn 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's The Captured paints a vivid portrait of life on the Texas frontier, offering a rare account of captivity. "A carefully written, well-researched contribution to Western history -- and to a promising new genre: the anthropology of the stolen." - Kirkus Reviews
