Jenkins BTB 124(d) : "One of the most remarkable accounts of life among hostile Texas Indians, this is also one of the few surviving accounts of life in 19th century Texas from the Indian point of view." One of the very best Indian-captive narratives, by a boy who spent nine years among the Apache and Comanche and, surprisingly, enjoyed himself. When forced to return to white civilization in 1878, he resisted and never completely reconciled himself to his compulsory return to American civilization. He remained sympathetic to and friendly with the Native tribes with whom he'd lived, and was considered until his death a full member of the Apache nation. Signed by Author(s).
