In the year 1836, in the remote wilds of Texas, nine year old Cynthia Ann Parker was kidnapped by the last of the Comanche Indians. The story follows how Cynthia grew up in their village, soon mastered their ways, and married one of their leaders, and fundamentally became a one of the most interesting Comanche women of all time. The author Lucia St. Clair Robson captivated the Comanche people to perfection and the tale was so captivating it kept me on the edge of my seat wondering what would happen next. While the story tells Cynthia Ann Parker’s growing up among the Comanche people there is essentially a historic romance story rooted throughout this incredible tale. When I first picked up this book I was a young teenager looking for an adventure and a love story to peak my curiosity. I fell in love with the tale and have read it over and over again. Now I live close to Oklahoma Territory where Cynthia Ann Parker’s son Quanta Parker lived and ruled as Chief so the story naturally intrigued me again. The pictures and map help the reader visualize the terrain the early Texan’s and Comanche Indians lived in. I would recommend this book to the adventure, romantics, and history seekers who long for a true journey into the Wild West.
