The Captured: A True Story of Abduction by Indians on the Texas Frontier

Blurb

A true story... On New Year's Day 1870, ten-year-old Adolph Korn was kidnapped by Plains Indians. For three years, he thrived on their rough, nomadic existence, becoming a fierce warrior. Never readjusting to white society, he spent his last years in a cave, all but forgotten by his family. Determined to understand how a timid farm boy could have become so Indianized, author Scott Zesch traveled across the West, digging through archives, speaking with Comanche elders, and tracking eight other child captives with hauntingly similar experiences. This book has a center bound black and white photo insert. Kirkus Reviews: "A carefully written, well-researched contribution to Western history - and to a promising new genre: the anthropology of the stolen."
