  • Welcome to a little mini-series I'm calling the Displaced: a look at two people in history that were removed from their homes and normal lives - one by force and one by choice - and were never quite able to return. In this week's episode we take on the sad strange case of Cynthia Ann Parker, daughter of Texas Rangers and Comanche captive who eventually fell in love with the society that stole her, only to be ripped away for the second time from every thing she'd come to know.

    Finally how history happened. You’d think the Indians were in the Plains holding teddy bears the way they talk now

      I don’t think anyone with a few brain cells to rub together think that but the native Indians had every right to protect their lands and their way of life from those who sought to destroy both

    I've always thought her photo (holding her child) was probably done in such a manner, breastfeeding , in a cruel manner. The ones taking the picture were probably treating her like a sideshow freak. Knowing the white women of the day would have NEVER been inclined to expose themselves. I've just always found that disturbing to think of. That poor woman.

    This interesting and well documented narrative will be used in English class to explain the historical facts that inspired John Ford when he made The Searchers.

    Pretty good account by someone who has bothered to do some research about a disputed event of history. Sol Ross's initial account of the raid at Peace River didn't mention Peta Nocona. He didn't offer that version until he was running for the Texas State Senate years later.. Thanks for posting.

    Elder John Parker was warned by neighboring indian chieftains
    that the Comanche were planning an attack on Fort Parker.
    After that some of its residents left but the Parkers and the Plummers
    did not.
    So the Parkers and the Plummers had some responsibility for the gruesome
    events that took place at the Fort Parker on 19th May 1836.

    the soldiers who rescued her probably thought that she would like to be returned its a bit silly to say they didnt care for her except for the clout

  • @alexblainelayter7703

    Interesting but fairly one-sided. Peta Nocona was about 7 years older than Nadua, not 20 - he would have had a hard time raiding as long as he did and it would have been very unlikely that he had no other wives at that age. And by many accounts of captured children who were integrated and adults who chose to join indigenous people, they preferred their second life to white society. Not because of Stockholm syndrome but because life amongst the natives was less restrictive and less monotonous. John Parker ran away several times from his 'real' family for that reason and never returned as a grown man when he had the choice. His Comanche family leaving him behind also lacks context - this disease had been brought in by white settlers and killed more natives than guns did. He literally put himself in quarantine.

    Cynthia Ann Parker is yet another woman who never had a choice-all because of arrogant men who decided *for* her. Cynthia was never “found”; she was always taken against her will. That was the life she was forced to have, the legacy she was forced to leave. Any peace she may have found was ripped from her by men who saw her as “theirs”, Parkers and all. She died in mental and emotional agony, imprisoned by her family. For what? So they could say they “rescued” her? I don’t know what part of her story is more tragic. For whatever it’s worth, I hope at the very least her death gave her some peace.
