I have reaad a number of stories about captives who returned or were recaptured. Many of the men who had been raised since childhood in the tribes went back after a year or so among their civilized brethren. Some of the women were miserable the rest of their lives due to ostracism because they had become wives to usually important men because, as everywhere, white skin, especially in woman was prized or it was assumed by civilized women that they had been sex toys for the Indian men. A couple of them went back but some were prevented by families or did not go back because husbands and/or children had been killed by white Indian fighters. The most famous was Cynthia Ann Parker whose son Quanah became the last war chief or the Comanches and whose husband had been killed n a fight with Texans.
Interesting! Thanks...
