"This book describes the clash between American and Native American cultures in Texas as occurred in the life of Cynthia Ann Parker. Captured from Fort Parker, Cynthia married a Comanche and bore several children prior to her return to white society. She pined away for her Comanche family, which she never saw again. When her daughter died, Cynthia lost the will to live. Students can compare Cynthia Ann Parker’s life to that of her son Quanah’s."
