The Captured by Scott Zesch
A True Story of Abduction by Indians on the Texas Frontier
A tightly focused work of narrative nonfiction that reconstructs the lives of settlers—particularly children—taken captive by Native American tribes on the 19th-century Texas frontier, following their abductions, adaptation or resistance within Indigenous communities, and the wrenching legal, cultural and familial disputes that followed; based on archival records, letters and court proceedings, it examines identity, belonging and the complex human consequences of frontier conflict.
