Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a harrowing and deeply personal account of the hardships faced by early Texas settlers, as seen through the eyes of a pioneer leader. Recounting the brutal capture of Fort Parker by Comanche and other Native American tribes in 1836, the author details the tragic loss of family members and the desperate struggle for survival against overwhelming odds. The narrative vividly portrays the raw emotions and desperate measures taken by the survivors as they journeyed through a treacherous wilderness, battling hunger, exhaustion, and the constant threat of pursuit. The author's subsequent efforts to secure the release of captured loved ones, navigating political roadblocks and venturing into hostile territory, paint a poignant picture of resilience and unwavering determination. This firsthand account not only sheds light on a pivotal moment in Texas history but also delves into the complex dynamics between settlers and Native Americans during this tumultuous period.
