This is such a well-executed, compelling work detailing the occurrences and lives of various white captives by the Native Americans, including the author’s ancestor Adolf Korn. The way in which the narrative and commentary are presented is both factual and intriguing. Definitely a highly recommended read by a student with an interest in history.

Mr Zesch has written an extraordinary book from both an historical and personal perspective, the best "history" of all. His re-creations of the lives of these white Indian children is told while showing respect for both cultures. The psychological impact on these children was individualized for each child with insight and intelligence by the author. A great read.

Great work on Indian white captives. Very descriptive on aspects of the 19th century of the plains native Americans and white settlers.

Very interesting especially if you are from Texas!
