Foreword by John Graves. Limited to 10…00 copies. First published in 1886. Cynthia Ann Parker (October 28, 1827 March 1871), also known as Naduah was an Anglo-American who was kidnapped in 1836, around age 10, by a Comanche war band which had attacked her family's settlement. Her Comanche name means "someone found." Parker was adopted by the Comanche and lived with them for 24 years, completely forgetting her white ways. At approximately age 34, Parker was discovered and relocated by the Texas Rangers, but spent the remaining 10 years of her life refusing to adjust to life in white society. At least once, she escaped and tried to return to her Comanche family and children, but was again brought back to Texas. She found it difficult to understand her iconic status to the nation, which saw her as having been redeemed from the Comanches. Heartbroken over the loss of her daughter, she stopped eating and died in 1871.
