The Forgotten Tales: Abductions of Children by Apache and Comanche Indians on the Texas Frontier. Kidnaped by the Apache and Comanche: What was like to be Captured by North Americas Most Brutal Indian Tribes?
Children Captured by Apache and Comanche Indians. A True Story of Abduction on the Texas Frontier. With a historian's rigor and a novelist's eye, Scott Zesch paints a vivid portrait of life on the Texas frontier, offering a rare account of captivity.
On New Year's Day in 1870, ten-year-old Adolph Korn was kidnapped by an Apache raiding party. Traded to Comanches, 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 relative'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.
Scott tells the story in this video.

A narrative from a new England captive is similar in stating that her life as a captive was easier than that of a settler woman working around the clock for basic sustenance. A life if endless toil much harsher than as a captive when she was eventually adopted into the tribe.

The channel, Dates and Dead Guys, does a more in depth telling of Herman's story and is definitely worth checking out.

I've bought and read that book featured at the beginning of this video called "The Captured" and it is awesome. I've read it several times now and it just captivates me every time I read it. I first read it on my iPhone through the iBooks app, but I liked it so much that I read it about three times, and finally looked for it on line and bought the hard cover edition of the book. I have no doubt that I will read it many more times in the future.

Hey Scott, enjoyed your presentation, and you are a wonderful storyteller!! Excellent job. I too am from Mason and grew up with your cousin Paul as my best friend. He and I rode the James River Country and Llano River exploring for Indian artifacts. I was captivated with the Herman Lehman story and found it totally fascinating. Our forefathers were brave men back in the old frontier days of Texas. If you were out on the Texas frontier back then and the Apaches or Comanches showed up, you better have your Daisy pumped up.

How good would it be for these true stories to be made into an historical re-enactment series of the wild west. Made in the style of Dances with Wolves with compelling honesty.

We have a new video airing on 9-13, 4:00 PM EST, that tells the history of the Indian "Buffalo Jump." Many more buffalo were slaughtered than were harvested. The excess were just left to rot. Ken Burns did not mention this in his special on the Buffalo. (Many times history in truth is not politically correct.)

Wonderful people these native American's, why did the Europeans hate them so much, pretty obvious they savaged people not because they were taking their land its because what they always done anyway, be it the Europeans or their own kind but different tribe

@suedearing-ex7ve 10 месяцев назад

This is so interesting. I wonder if some of them ran away to rejoin their former tribes.

@WildWestHistoryAssociation 10 месяцев назад

Most all wanted to return to the Indian way of life. Some did attempt, and some probably made it back, but I have no documentation. I am sure the author knows.

@WildWestHistoryAssociation 10 месяцев назад

Found this: Fort Mason, TX. Comanche chief Katemcy at one point turned over two white captives aged 11 and 12, and again bringing them back when the captives ran away from the fort to reunite with the Comanches.

@suedearing-ex7ve 10 месяцев назад

Thank you for replying. This gets even more interesting. So good to know children adapted and wanted to be with their tribes

Could you explain to me why some families lived at outposts (or frontier) like that? Didn't they know to risk of being raided by the Natives?

@dal8963 3 месяца назад

That's where you could build a life you could go out there and build a homestead and become the owner of that land you could work hard on your own land and build your own life if you lived in the settled areas and did not have wealth you worked for someone else you labored for them not yourself you struggled to ever own anything let alone enough land to have a ranch or anything substantial. The risk was great but so was the reward.

It was the only place we could interview Scott. Sometimes locations just are not perfect.
