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'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

Mobi The Captured: A True Story of Abduction by Indians on the Texas Frontier with Free EASY Reading!

An interesting account of children captured by Apache, Kiowa, and Comanche raiders as spoils of war when the children are ages 8-12 in the Texas hill country in the 1860s to 1870s. The author discusses approximately 8 cases where there are historical records suggesting that despite the brutal horror of family members murdered during the children's abductions, the children frequently grew to love and respect their captors and the less restrictive, exciting lifestyle practised by the Plains Indians during this timeframe, which was ending as Indians were forced onto reservations. The children, according to the author, frequently came from circumstances where poverty and custom dictated that children and women were isolated, and unprotected, herding animals, or tending to farm chores, making tempting targets for Indian raiders who sought both livestock and captives. The children quickly became valued members of the tribe, and were apparently given respect, power, resonsibility, and freedom in early adolescence, when they would have just been a farm drudge in the German American farming community (the author's, not my, point of view). The author describes the repatriated, often reluctantly, children's readjustment to their families; caught between two worlds, longing for the now prohibited "savage" way of life that reservations restricted.......or were the children's obvious adjustment difficulties caused by developmental, psychological trauma caused by witnessing and participating in violence? Perhaps war's brutality leaves psychological scars that mankind was still decades from understanding at that point in time? The author's ideas are interesting and he sheds light on a chapter in American history that I knew very little about.
