My GreatX3 passed down a story of how they were traveling from Illinois to Nebraska and were camped out by a creek. His daughters were washing clothes by the creek when an Indian quietly rode up and grabbed the smallest girl. My G3 got on his horse and was able to catch up and there was a fight. He yelled to the girl to jump and run and when the Indian saw she escaped he gave up. He mentioned he was so happy that he had just bought a fast horse.
why not have stories of how the rightful caretakers of the land,the Natives,we're cheated,tortured,women raped,babies bashed brains out ,killed on sight.Genocide just like the Nazi,s n now we get to hear stories glamorizing the taming of the West.Was the Author there? No! Just made up ,trying to fool us , just as they,ve always done. Simply Sickening!
@rhonda8231 The records show they made it to Nebraska where they had a claim. They were later forced off the land when a rich land barron came to the territory and said the land belonged to him. They then tracked back to Iowa.
THE FATHER BADLY SCREWED UP....AS SOON AS THE FRIENDLY TWO INDIANS WARNED THEM, I WOULD HAVE ASSEMBLED EVERYTHING AND MOVED OUT BEFORE DUSK....IN GREAT DANGER, ......YOU NEVER TAKE YOUR TIME.
They HORRIBLY underestimated the Comanche AND how long the war would last. They were WARNED and were overconfident because they had put down ROOTS and didn't want to lose THINGS. Hindsight though. As they were constantly at threat but still.... they ignored the elevate risk to their peril
My grandmother had dealings with Natives and her daughter Vera ..my aunt back around 1909....an Indian in the store tried to buy my aunt Vera because of her red hair. This was back in northwestern Nebraska. The native grabbed at her and my grandmother grabbed a broom and wacked him.
Great grandma ! Wish mine was tough like that, but she was very passive, quiet. Maybe her surviving the Nazis and Communists had something to do with her demeanor? 💔
@@SweetChicagoGator I assure you yours was not passive and quiet. She learned at an early age to pick her battles. Anyone who survived that horror was a very strong person. My own grandmother came across to most as a quiet, gentle person but, living with them, I saw a different side of her one evening when my grandfather just would not shut up. She had the cast iron skillet in her hand when he pushed too far - she went towards him it with it raised and said, "I told you to shut up, Roy!" He did and he never harassed her again. I've no doubt if he had not shut up that evening, she would have hit him! Fortunately, he learned and never pushed her again. Point is: Because someone has enough self-control to appear passive/quiet, does not mean they are.
My grandmother was terrified by natives. I asked why and according to her when she was a 7 year old growing up in west Texas in what is the Big Bend Lajitas area near Presidio her father and uncles traded with native Americans. According to her the women and girls would hide upon the appearance of Indians being they came to trade. One of the Indians spotted a friend in my grandmother another 7 year old girl. My grandmother said that an Indian asked the girls mother how much she would want for her daughter’s braids. Mother her daughter’s braids were not for sale and the Indian left. Eight days later the girl went missing a search party was set up but the body of the girl was found on the banks on the rio grande in the Mexican side completely scalped.
I’m a natural redhead as is my dad. His grandmother was Creek Indian. She used to tell him that his red hair was considered lucky, almost sacred and held in awe by Indians.
All redheads are good luck with the native Americans they feel blessed. I remember the legends I was born strawberry blonde and I can accrossed a full blooded native man an he said I was blessed to be born that way.
I've always had very strong chemistry with anybody of Native American descent. Basically, every crush I've ever had, I've eventually figured out that they're part Native American. Glad to hear it's mutual.
I grew up in the 50s with bright red hair. I realize now in my late 70s that it WAS special. I was made fun of all my life by my peers but the older folks liked my hair
At the pictographs, on a ranch, near a town in Texas, is the native story of the raid, against the Todd family, by the Comanches. Was said to be one of the last pictographs, in that particular area, by the Comanches. I wondered what happened to Alice Todd. Some say she married a Kiowa Chief, some say she was killed, some say she married a Comanche Chief. No one really knows. Great story, thanks!
My dad told me about a relative of ours had red hair. Her and her husband were captured by some Indians, they killed him but loved her red hair and captured her. She stayed with them for the rest of her life.
My great great grandmother and her two young children were killed by Indians in Hill Country Texas. Wilhemina Wolfe, Hedwig and Franz who were German settlers.
Indians tried to take my red-haired ancestor in southern Nevada back in the 1850's or 60's. She was a little girl going with her family from California to Utah.
I found a nice fleshing rock and several arrow heads and a friend found a dandy Lance head on Comanche creek in Mason County,,,,,and i found a Topaz the size of a Golfball also

I’d like to recommend an EXCELLENT book: “Ride the Wind” by Lucia St. Clair Robson. One of the best books I’ve ever read - and I’ve read many. It tells the story of Cynthia Ann Parker being stolen by Indians after her family was massacred. She was raised by the Indians, married a respected chief, and was later stolen back by the whites. Very sad ending. 😔
That was one of my favorite books in the 80s-90s .. read it multiple times.. it eventually disintegrated 😅 I know she took a lot of creative liberties, but she did her homework on the historical context and how they actually lived.. I went looking for another copy about 8-10years ago, and found she had a few other books in roughly the same time period.. thanks for the reminder! I’ll have to go back to that wish list! Also, I found a fat FAT paperback in the take it or leave it shed at the dump years ago, it was a fictionalization (like ride the wind) of Sacagawea’s story..by Anna Waldo An interesting read if you can get thru the whole thing! lol
@@ruththinkingoutside.707 Yeah, I had to replace mine after lending it to someone and not getting it back! 😠 I’ve learned over the years to quit lending out my favorite books. Yeah, lots of creative liberty, but an excellent read. And thanks for the suggestions - I’ll look into that one!
Cynthia was my 10th cousin 3times removed. A sad story, kidnapped by Indians and kidnapped by the whites. She had a very hard life and was not happy having been returned to the white world. She had married Peta Nacona and they had a son Quanah Parker, last Comanche chief.
@@lisawest6533 Yes, I learned all that in that book. It was SO sad when they stole her back, and so sad that it was the end of the Indians’ glory days also. I loved reading about Cynthia’s life with them. That’s fascinating that you’re related!
I enjoy the western and the frontier mountain men history.. but I never understood why the settlers instead of just getting a piece of land, building a cabin for themselves and living so far apart out in Indian territory, knowing of raids, they just didn't come together like a fort, so there would be more men to protect the women and children.. wonderful history and thank you for this story.. from South Carolina..
Same here, why DID they live in such vulnerable settings? It’s probably for some reason my contemporary mind can’t fathom. Damned if I’d put my family harm’s way like that. I understand wanting a piece of land to call your own, but the possible price to pay was way too high.
I understand what you are saying, I think many didn’t think it could happen to them. Seems that those that survived attacks were more careful afterwards
God inspired the people to come to America. The Native tribes/people could have had this land/country to themselves always, if they had been faithful to God and Jesus Christ.
@@azborderlandsindigenous people never owned land, they had territories that they moved through and expanded the boundaries on,or lost to other people.
Love these historical stories. My great great grandad and sister ? were kidnapped by indians(tribe not sure) found by indian trader at 5yrs age, are in texas history.
If you want to read the real story without all of the nonsense, get a copy of Gregory and Susan, Michno's "A Fate Worse than Death." The book is a catalog of documented Indian captivity histories. There is no prelude concerning her being spied at a store by some "braves." who plotted to take her later. (Commanches did not hang out with whites or congregate around stores at the time!). The family was on a trip to visit relatives to see a newborn baby when the Commanches struck and killed her mother, a black female servant, and Mr. Todd's horse panicked and fled with George Todd on its back (or he panicked and fled. No one knows for sure). George Todd spent years trying to find his daughter, Alice. The story is likely a main influence on the epoch John Ford, John Wayne film "The Searchers." In Alice's case, it was never determined whether she had survived or as some Indians reported, been killed the first night for her hair. I knew a woman whose family came from Norway in around 1900. They rode in a wagon for the last part of their trip. They were followed by Indians until they cut off their blonde hair and left it on some rocks. Yes, the Indians would kill for a beautiful head of hair.
It is actually quite ridiculous if you know anything about the era or the real story. Indians didn't hang around white people or general stores, and the whites didn't praise the Idnans, either. The Todds were on the way to see a cousin's newborn baby when the Commanches struck and killed George Todd's wife, a female slave, and Mrs. Dwinzel Todd. Mr. Todd claimed his horse panicked and carried him away, but it looks like he fled in panic, But he spent many years trying to find Alice.
The Indians were nomads, the settlers wanted to find a place to settle. Two cultures clashing over land. Happened all over the world and is still happening today.
They were semi-sedendary with permanent and seasonal villages throughout their territory. Common misconception that Anglo-American settlers spread to justify taking land.
Ive been praying endless, ceaselessly, we as a nation have not turned our backs on our higher power so much He has abandoned us. I have been praying for Christian revolution and for those like you willing to stand for the USA flag and kneel to our God. Priorities man. Thank you, I am a new subscriber. I like your message and it makes me feel Christianity is our color now, we are one. We must put our Father in the lead and take up our shields and as we stand together, the arrows will not penetrate.
Check out the book about Ishi, Last Wild Indian in North America. There are actually 2 books. That is the second one. Also a movie about him. I worked a block away from a fort/museum in Sacramento California. They had many of Ishi’s belongings!!
Yes, it was terrible. But maybe if that family or their ancestors had stayed in Europe, it would have been different. No First Nations people invited Europeans to settle on a already settled continent. What started as a trickle, became a deluge.
@@azborderlandsYes and who did they conquer to take the land from??? Indigenous people didn't own land,they had territories that they either lost to or expanded by conquering other people
Im part Cherokee and when I was about 2 i had strawberry blonde red hair and by the time I was 7 it turned Brazil nut brown with black...but if im in the sun during the summer my hair can turn almost a caramel color with red lol...i stay indoors mostly now..
Exactly. I’ve been listening to The Little House on the Prairie books recently, and also a book about flora and fauna that Laura mentioned in the books. The author made a remark about Carolynn Ingalls’ racist comments about Indians. I didn’t find them racist, only fearful. She had a rational reason for her fear. People today just aren’t taught WHY settlers had these attitudes. They don’t understand the history, recent events, or experiences of settlers.
The Indians had good reason to hate the settlers. They themselves were hunted, murdered, given diseases had their sacred lands and symbols defaced and destroyed. I am not native American but have studied history and respect the native peoples.
@@JillDonaho-q1d of course the Indians did most of those things to each other too. Don’t forget before the Europeans came to North America the natives there were a primitive Stone Age people
@@JillDonaho-q1dbut they didn't have to kill innocent women and children the white man did the same and the Indians did the same they all went to hell you do not kill children
Think of it this way, if the Anglos had stayed east of the Mississippi and the Spaniards stayed west of the Rockies and left the rest to the Indians and Bison, you would not have millions of illegal immigrants flooding over the border every year, would you ? The Comanche and Apache would be quite a deterrent for them.
The Spaniards were never west of the Rockies , only when the Mexicans would go on raids of the native tribes then back south and eventually the Missions were set up. The Russians had been along the West coast as well as Samoans etc.
This story sounds so familiar. I think it was part of the curriculum of my day for English Literature for late elementary school age. Wonder what they have the kids read today?
I live on the old Santa Fe trail, it is US HWY 84 in New Mexico. It ends not too far from me and the covered wagons either had to go south or north at the mountains. Many people in our area are descendants of those settlers.
In the 60's I use to visit the Arrowwood Indian trading post in Catoose, OK. A very elderly chief owned/ran the post. He had his ancestors tall coup stick, complete with 7 scalps. 2 were from white people.
Since YT isn't giving me the ability to post a comment at all, I'll post it here, as a reply. Thanks very much for the fascinating story! I watch them all, but rarely comment. Ironically, the time I decided to comment, there was no space in which to do it! Looking forward to the next one!! 💯
Just one of many stories The Searchers is based on.As well how Wayne's character might've reacted to his niece being held captive.We want her physically and mentally intact if not we might have to put her down
I’m sure it was far darker. Women were not treated equally back then. They were sold, even by colonial people as well. Not hard to believe the young girl was originally sold.
Yes before any white man ever set foot on the North American continent the Indians were capturing other Indians from neighboring tribes and making them slaves and they did sell them
I remember a similar story in Colorado where a group attempted to purchase a red hair child, offering to sell livestock in exchange. They were very upset the family refused to sell their child and the family wisely moved on to avoid further confrontation. Also, someone I know had a wealthy white woman offer to buy her mixed red hair child. Guess this has always been a past time!
@@junedalley7658 what ia super racist thing to say. And not one person put you in your place already? Why don’t you say that to black people or Jewish people on here?
I guess you've never been to Montana or Wyoming they have antelopes roaming the plains they used to be all over the United States now that's mostly Wyoming and Montana
He is correct. There was a photo of the prong horn antelope which is still prolific in New Mexico, Texas panhandle, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, etc. But afterwards there was a photo of three larger species of antelope native to Africa.
Blonde hair is a recessive traits, so for a person to have blonde hair, the genetics have to come from both the father and mother. If that doesn’t happen, the trait is quickly bred out.

Here is my tin foil hat theory when did they start making old folks home to put our grandparents in so that we would not be able to hear these stories these are the things we should have learned in school I literally use nothing that I spent 12 years in school my mom taught me to read and my homework that mom taught me is how I learned math literally school did nothing it actually I think made me dumber I've learned so much more homeschooling my kids than I did when I was in school my Grandpa would tell us amazing stories of Giants and things like that fossils and things he had and that is the things that we should have been learning but where are old folks that would tell us these things they are all put in homes and there is so much of a lack of respect for the older and our knowledge of real history

I’m a strawberry blonde, more blonde than red. For every red hair in my head I have about twenty blonde. This was unsettling. 😢😢Hope she ended up having a good life with the Comanche.
My mother’s side of the family are redheads from the North Western area of Mexico. Native Mexicans and Native American tribes, who crossed into Mexico, were amazed by my mother’s family red hair and beards and would consistently asked to take their daughters as their wives, which caused a few conflicts between the three companies. Those were crazy times.
Im from the Bay Mills of Ojibwe in Michigan and my family has passed down the scalps of two French, four English and nine American settlers. Now they are buried because my Aunt is Christian and won't let my uncle hang them in the house😢.
My father’s friend told me his grandfather had kidnapped his wife (friend’s grandmother) from the Comanche. Had to keep her hidden for months till she had a baby. Their union was finally accepted by the Comanche.
Yeah… Fredericksburg Texas and Parker’s Fort huh… not Parker’s Ford Pa? It’s gettin more than absurd to believe the records of these abductions are more than faulty
Coming from three separate northeast native tribes it is a balance between having respect for some tribes, and acknowledging the absolute disgust that I feel when hearing of the violence and disregard for life of other tribes. And these grotesque tribes were equally as violent and blood thirsty to other native tribes as they were to whites.
I saw a story about a woman with long red hair who was murdered and scalped along with the party she was travelling with on a river boat on Faces of the Forgotten's channel. Can't remember exactly where this occurred but I think somwhere in the area of what is now western Montana or Wyoming. According to the story, the Indian who killed and scalped her regretted doing so according to a white captive.
Unworthy of? In many ways more unworthy of being true?? You said it not me. Thanks. I saw this movie under different titles...10x or more. A popular theme. Ok thanks again😊
The indians were nomads fighting other tribes, had no written language, and built homes out of stacked rocks, at a time when Europeans were building cathedrals, naturally these cultures would clash.
Bull____!. There was hundreds of tribes back then. Some had advanced home building engineering skills. And many tribes have written languages. Try learning Ojibwe/ Chippewa language. Where have you been living under a rock.
@helenbradford2569 So where are the ancient ruins in the US? Oh wait, there are stacked rocks. Some even have walls. Where is their written language? Ancient Myans,Incas, Olmecs, and others, yes, were advanced as evidenced by ancient ruins. But then there were human sacrifices, so maybe not that advanced. And no, I don't live under a rock, I've done enough research to know there isn't any there there. . Maybe you live in a bubble.
The indigenous Americans ranged from peaceful farmers to the worst cut-throats imaginable. The USA was built on genocide against the Indians, industrial scale slavery of Africans, and the ruthless exploitation of wave after wave of impoverished Europeans. God bless America.
I have memory's from the other side. We grew up with grandpa's scalps that were passed down in the family hanging in the closet. The white settlers were just as nasty to us and could not be trusted to keep their word.
Liar. MY grandfather was a settler. He had a gate on the west side of his rnch and one on the east side so the Indians could cross his ranch. They never once left the gate open.
A similar thing happened to an ancestor of mine by the name of Ruth Shoemaker in the 1800s. I think her parents were immigrants from either Scotland or England, but I’d need to double check. To be fair, I read it years and years ago. According to an officially compiled ancestry book that was made in 1923 by a certified genealogist she had quite the story to tell. I doubt it’s 100% accurate just because it’s made by humans that have their own cultural biases, but it did tell an interesting story. Probably THE most exciting story in generations of my family on either side. Red heads run reeeeeeeelly strong in my family…like Weasley strong. We’re mostly Scottish and Irish and miscellaneous European and like 5% indigenous American if 23&me is to be believed. It’s actually kinda funny how stereotypically ginger so much of my family have been. I don’t know if Ruth was a ginger herself though. No pictures. I had never considered the reason other than selling her until this moment. They chose to kill the parents and the newborn baby but kept her and she was about two at the time. I’ve never understood why they chose to kill the baby if the whole point of the operation was to sell children. I mean, a baby would be way easier to assimilate into their tribe. They wouldn’t have any lasting memories. Ruth was sold to another tribe (not all tribes engaged in slavery, in fact most did not so let’s not get it twisted and go “white victim”) after her family was massacred by a group of dudes from another tribe and lived with the tribe they sold her to until she was 18 and she left on her own and the spawn of gingers seems to have continued if she actually was one herself lol. They didn’t say “escaped” they said “returned” so I doubt she was treated like dirt for revenge. Her major footnote in the family besides the massacre in the album is “sold to Tecumseh’s tribe as a baby” but there is no way to prove that so it’s not really something to “brag about. It never said she was treated as a slave either and she was free to leave when she was an adult, so I cannot pass judgement on her treatment one way or the other. I like to think they treated her fairly, but she still wanted to “go home.” Perhaps her otherness never went away due to possible red hair. They could have easily bought her to save her and she chose to leave on her own. We will literally never know so I refuse to form a judgement until presented with absolute facts. I’m assuming he wasn’t the only Tecumseh in the world at that time anyway. I’m not gonna pretend it was anything more than their individual decisions and not an order from the leaders of their tribe. They could have been outlaws from their home tribe for all history knows so it’s not fair to blame anyone other than the murderers. Even though these events definitely happened, it’s important to remember that the Native Americans had it way worse and lost way more than our individual families ever did. All the lives were treated as if they didn’t matter and they did matter, but one side lost everything else as well and still suffer to this day. Let’s not use what happened to some of us to to deny what happened to all of them. Nothing to do with the channel, more for any white victimhood angry comments that may appear.
The Mohawks took my ancestor and her two children leaving them alive for their red hair. They were traded to the Shawnee who didn’t keep slaves. The two women never left but Indian Bill Galloway went back to white society.
I release all that is blocking me. Everything they have done, has back fired. My haters will see me succeed! Their karma will go viral. I am about to take flight. I am shinning bright like a diamond. I am about to be seen. All curses have been lifted. I am destined to be wealthy. I am free, nothing is holding me back.They can not stop my destiny. It is written in the stars.

Are you a yankee, the way you talk about Lincolns war on the South, sounds like it. Plus it doesn't sound like you know much of the actual history of Lincolns war on the South.
@@DebKC-bj9jo I am 78 years old and have studied all my life on certain topics. When in high school the librarian in our school told me I read more books than any other student. Here is an example of what one can come up with by reading actual history. The Confederate States of America (1861-1865) started with an agrarian-based economy that relied heavily on slave-worked plantations for the production of cotton for export to Europe IF CLASSED AS AN INDEPENDENT COUNTRY, the area of the Confederate States would have ranked as the FOURTH-RICHEST COUNTRY OF THE WORLD IN 1860." (Wikipedia: Economy of the Confederate States of America). To "preserve the Union" Treasury, Lincoln could not afford to let the South secede. Five days after the evacuation of Ft Sumter, Lincoln published President Proclamation NO. 81 on April 19, 1861. "Whereas an insurrection against the Government of the United States has broken out in the States of South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas, and the laws of the United States FOR THE COLLECTION OF THE REVENUE (TAX MONEY) can not be effectually executed therein conformably to that provision of the Constitution which requires DUTIES (REVENUE TAX MONEY) to be uniform throughout the UNITED STATES; ......" Lincoln's Presidential Proclamation NO. 82, April 27. 1861 (after more Southern States secede) "Whereas since that date, public property of the United States has been seized, THE COLLECTION OF THE REVENUE (TAX MONEY) OBSTRUCTED, ....." Even the US House of Representatives joined in: Crittenden-Johnson Resolution issued by the US House of Representatives, 25 July, 1861 four days after the defeat of the invading US Army at Manassas, VA (Bull Run). "Resolved by the House of Representatives of the Congress of the United States, That the present deplorable civil war has been forced upon the country by the disunionists of the Southern States now in revolt against the constitutional Government and in arms around the capital; that in this national emergency Congress, banishing all feelings of mere passion or resentment, WILL RECOLLECT ONLY ITS DUTY (REVENUE TAX MONEY) TO THE WHOLE COUNTRY; that this war is not waged upon our part in any spirit of oppression, nor for any purpose of conquest or subjugation, NOR PURPOSE OF OVERTHROWING OR INTERFERING WITH THE RIGHTS OR ESTABLISHED "INSTITUTIONS" (such as slavery) OF THOSE STATES, but to defend and maintain the supremacy of the Constitution and TO PRESERVE THE UNION (Treasury), with all the dignity, equality, and rights of the several States unimpaired; and that as soon as these objects are accomplished the war ought to cease. "The role of slavery became the proclaimed cause of [Lincoln's] war because it was necessary to put the South at a moral disadvantage by transforming the contest from a war for independence into a war waged for the maintenance and extension of slavery!" Woodrow Wilson, US President English author, Charles Dickens, author of A Christmas Carol and Oliver Twist: "The Northern onslaught upon slavery was no more than a piece of specious humbug designed to conceal its desire for ECONOMIC CONTROL of the Southern states." (Google: Charles Dickens, piece of specious humbug). Dickens owned a magazine called All the Year Round. In it, an article attacked the tariff . “…under all the passion of the parties and the cries of battle lie the two chief moving causes of the struggle,” it said. “Union means so many millions a year lost to the South; SECESSION MEANS THE LOSS OF THE SAME MILLIONS TO THE NORTH. The love of money is the root of this, as of many other evils…”

His daughters were washing clothes by the creek when an Indian quietly rode up and grabbed the smallest girl. My G3 got on his horse and was able to catch up and there was a fight.

Point is: Because someone has enough self-control to appear passive/quiet, does not mean they are.
My grandmother was terrified by natives. I asked why and according to her when she was a 7 year old growing up in west Texas in what is the Big Bend Lajitas area near Presidio her father and uncles traded with native Americans. According to her the women and girls would hide upon the appearance of Indians being they came to trade. One of the Indians spotted a friend in my grandmother another 7 year old girl. My grandmother said that an Indian asked the girls mother how much she would want for her daughter’s braids. Mother her daughter’s braids were not for sale and the Indian left. Eight days later the girl went missing a search party was set up but the body of the girl was found on the banks on the rio grande in the Mexican side completely scalped.
@@tranger4579 What a terrible thing....happened then and happens now...do not understand such things.
I like these old diaries that have been left for us. Un changed History for us. Thank you for sharing.
So many families have stories not told . My family has a story. It was hard also.
I’m a natural redhead as is my dad. His grandmother was Creek Indian. She used to tell him that his red hair was considered lucky, almost sacred and held in awe by Indians.
All redheads are good luck with the native Americans they feel blessed. I remember the legends I was born strawberry blonde and I can accrossed a full blooded native man an he said I was blessed to be born that way.
Indians are from india
I've always had very strong chemistry with anybody of Native American descent. Basically, every crush I've ever had, I've eventually figured out that they're part Native American. Glad to hear it's mutual.
I grew up in the 50s with bright red hair. I realize now in my late 70s that it WAS special. I was made fun of all my life by my peers but the older folks liked my hair
@@Over-for-now
The Dorks were jealous...lol
At the pictographs, on a ranch, near a town in Texas, is the native story of the raid, against the Todd family, by the Comanches. Was said to be one of the last pictographs, in that particular area, by the Comanches. I wondered what happened to Alice Todd. Some say she married a Kiowa Chief, some say she was killed, some say she married a Comanche Chief. No one really knows. Great story, thanks!
She married no one. She was taken by an Indian an raped!! Pagan marriages are not recognized by law.
My dad told me about a relative of ours had red hair. Her and her husband were captured by some Indians, they killed him but loved her red hair and captured her. She stayed with them for the rest of her life.
My great great grandmother and her two young children were killed by Indians in Hill Country Texas. Wilhemina Wolfe, Hedwig and Franz who were German settlers.
Indians tried to take my red-haired ancestor in southern Nevada back in the 1850's or 60's. She was a little girl going with her family from California to Utah.
They tried for EVERYONE'S hair as part of ritual....do not forget, these people were stealing their land !!!
I found a nice fleshing rock and several arrow heads and a friend found a dandy Lance head on Comanche creek in Mason County,,,,,and i found a Topaz the size of a Golfball also

I’d like to recommend an EXCELLENT book: “Ride the Wind” by Lucia St. Clair Robson. One of the best books I’ve ever read - and I’ve read many. It tells the story of Cynthia Ann Parker being stolen by Indians after her family was massacred. She was raised by the Indians, married a respected chief, and was later stolen back by the whites. Very sad ending. 😔
That was one of my favorite books in the 80s-90s .. read it multiple times.. it eventually disintegrated 😅
I know she took a lot of creative liberties, but she did her homework on the historical context and how they actually lived.. I went looking for another copy about 8-10years ago, and found she had a few other books in roughly the same time period..
thanks for the reminder! I’ll have to go back to that wish list!
Also,
I found a fat FAT paperback in the take it or leave it shed at the dump years ago, it was a fictionalization (like ride the wind) of Sacagawea’s story..by Anna Waldo
An interesting read if you can get thru the whole thing! lol
@@ruththinkingoutside.707 Yeah, I had to replace mine after lending it to someone and not getting it back! 😠 I’ve learned over the years to quit lending out my favorite books. Yeah, lots of creative liberty, but an excellent read. And thanks for the suggestions - I’ll look into that one!
@janicesmith2475 haha I've lost books like that too. I don't do that anymore 😅
Some books are hard to replace!
Cynthia was my 10th cousin 3times removed. A sad story, kidnapped by Indians and kidnapped by the whites. She had a very hard life and was not happy having been returned to the white world. She had married Peta Nacona and they had a son Quanah Parker, last Comanche chief.
@@lisawest6533 Yes, I learned all that in that book. It was SO sad when they stole her back, and so sad that it was the end of the Indians’ glory days also. I loved reading about Cynthia’s life with them. That’s fascinating that you’re related!
I’m a Todd and used to be a little red. My son is a red head but so is his father.
💙
I enjoy the western and the frontier mountain men history.. but I never understood why the settlers instead of just getting a piece of land, building a cabin for themselves and living so far apart out in Indian territory, knowing of raids, they just didn't come together like a fort, so there would be more men to protect the women and children.. wonderful history and thank you for this story.. from South Carolina..
Same here, why DID they live in such vulnerable settings? It’s probably for some reason my contemporary mind can’t fathom. Damned if I’d put my family harm’s way like that. I understand wanting a piece of land to call your own, but the possible price to pay was way too high.
I understand what you are saying, I think many didn’t think it could happen to them. Seems that those that survived attacks were more careful afterwards

That is a sad story. Always hoping for a happy ending😞
There are graves all over Texas of whites killed by Comanches. No one could live with the Comanches, they were the most violent tribe in Texas.
You mean a happy ending for the colonisers or for the people whom this land belonged to in the first place?

Selling my late dad’s rock house in Brady, a town nearby Mason. Heard stories
Love these historical stories. My great great grandad and sister ? were kidnapped by indians(tribe not sure) found by indian trader at 5yrs age, are in texas history.
If you want to read the real story without all of the nonsense, get a copy of Gregory and Susan, Michno's "A Fate Worse than Death." The book is a catalog of documented Indian captivity histories. There is no prelude concerning her being spied at a store by some "braves." who plotted to take her later. (Commanches did not hang out with whites or congregate around stores at the time!). The family was on a trip to visit relatives to see a newborn baby when the Commanches struck and killed her mother, a black female servant, and Mr. Todd's horse panicked and fled with George Todd on its back (or he panicked and fled. No one knows for sure). George Todd spent years trying to find his daughter, Alice. The story is likely a main influence on the epoch John Ford, John Wayne film "The Searchers." In Alice's case, it was never determined whether she had survived or as some Indians reported, been killed the first night for her hair. I knew a woman whose family came from Norway in around 1900. They rode in a wagon for the last part of their trip. They were followed by Indians until they cut off their blonde hair and left it on some rocks. Yes, the Indians would kill for a beautiful head of hair.
The Searchers was based on Quanah Parker’s mom, Cynthia.
American Indians were ENTIRELY subjugated by 1900. The Norwegian family was passing on some mighty tall tales.
@@DebKC-bj9joNo they werent
@@DebKC-bj9jothere were apache bands in the sierra madre mountains still killing Mexican’s into the 1920s lol educate yourself
This is down the road from the ranch. Peter’s Creek is on the ranch.
Great stories, great story telling
It is actually quite ridiculous if you know anything about the era or the real story. Indians didn't hang around white people or general stores, and the whites didn't praise the Idnans, either. The Todds were on the way to see a cousin's newborn baby when the Commanches struck and killed George Todd's wife, a female slave, and Mrs. Dwinzel Todd. Mr. Todd claimed his horse panicked and carried him away, but it looks like he fled in panic, But he spent many years trying to find Alice.
The Indians were nomads, the settlers wanted to find a place to settle. Two cultures clashing over land. Happened all over the world and is still happening today.
It just happened that it was their land...
Not all Indians were nomadic
No kidding
They were semi-sedendary with permanent and seasonal villages throughout their territory. Common misconception that Anglo-American settlers spread to justify taking land.
@@gorgeous6737 It wasn't their land for long.

Check out the book about Ishi, Last Wild Indian in North America. There are actually 2 books. That is the second one. Also a movie about him. I worked a block away from a fort/museum in Sacramento California. They had many of Ishi’s belongings!!
There were 3 things that the white man made that he loved.
Matches, binoculars, and glue.
How terrible for this family 😮
Yes, it was terrible. But maybe if that family or their ancestors had stayed in Europe, it would have been different. No First Nations people invited Europeans to settle on a already settled continent. What started as a trickle, became a deluge.
Story telling perfection.
On so many levels, it really is.
It’s white coloniser storytelling. Think about it for the people that were here before.
@@azborderlandsYes and who did they conquer to take the land from??? Indigenous people didn't own land,they had territories that they either lost to or expanded by conquering other people

Is unimaginable what these people went through, is there any wonder they hated the Indians ?
Exactly. I’ve been listening to The Little House on the Prairie books recently, and also a book about flora and fauna that Laura mentioned in the books. The author made a remark about Carolynn Ingalls’ racist comments about Indians. I didn’t find them racist, only fearful. She had a rational reason for her fear. People today just aren’t taught WHY settlers had these attitudes. They don’t understand the history, recent events, or experiences of settlers.
The Indians had good reason to hate the settlers. They themselves were hunted, murdered, given diseases had their sacred lands and symbols defaced and destroyed. I am not native American but have studied history and respect the native peoples.
@@JillDonaho-q1d of course the Indians did most of those things to each other too.
Don’t forget before the Europeans came to North America the natives there were a primitive Stone Age people
@@deadhorse1391The Comanches also murdered Spanish crossing the border
@@JillDonaho-q1dbut they didn't have to kill innocent women and children the white man did the same and the Indians did the same they all went to hell you do not kill children
Think of it this way, if the Anglos had stayed east of the Mississippi and the Spaniards stayed west of the Rockies and left the rest to the Indians and Bison, you would not have millions of illegal immigrants flooding over the border every year, would you ? The Comanche and Apache would be quite a deterrent for them.
You got it right. Thanks
@@garypiont6114 A couple of idiots.
That's a goofy assertion.
The Spaniards were never west of the Rockies , only when the Mexicans would go on raids of the native tribes then back south and eventually the Missions were set up. The Russians had been along the West coast as well as Samoans etc.
@@JackieAndrews-c7x Have you ever heard of a place called California ? How do you think California got it's name LOL
This story sounds so familiar. I think it was part of the curriculum of my day for English Literature for late elementary school age. Wonder what they have the kids read today?
I live on the old Santa Fe trail, it is US HWY 84 in New Mexico. It ends not too far from me and the covered wagons either had to go south or north at the mountains. Many people in our area are descendants of those settlers.
This is brilliant.
Damn, what a sad story.
Almeda Alice Todd, 1864 or unknown. Dizenia Peter's Todd, 1865, was also mother of possible twins born 1853.
In the 60's I use to visit the Arrowwood Indian trading post in Catoose, OK. A very elderly chief owned/ran the post. He had his ancestors tall coup stick, complete with 7 scalps. 2 were from white people.
The whites are the ones who started scalping the French pay them money for enemy scalps white and Indian there was a bounty on them
Soo sad a story R.I.P
It sounds like little Alice Todd had a premonition...

Just one of many stories The Searchers is based on.As well how Wayne's character might've reacted to his niece being held captive.We want her physically and mentally intact if not we might have to put her down
One of my favorite movies.
The Searchers is supposed to be based on the Cynthia Parker story but it really doesn’t stick to the truth. The true story is very interesting.
I’m sure it was far darker. Women were not treated equally back then. They were sold, even by colonial people as well. Not hard to believe the young girl was originally sold.
Yes before any white man ever set foot on the North American continent the Indians were capturing other Indians from neighboring tribes and making them slaves and they did sell them
I remember a similar story in Colorado where a group attempted to purchase a red hair child, offering to sell livestock in exchange. They were very upset the family refused to sell their child and the family wisely moved on to avoid further confrontation. Also, someone I know had a wealthy white woman offer to buy her mixed red hair child. Guess this has always been a past time!
Im curious why was a photo of African eland antelope in the middle of this?
saw that too lol
@@junedalley7658 what ia super racist thing to say. And not one person put you in your place already? Why don’t you say that to black people or Jewish people on here?
I guess you've never been to Montana or Wyoming they have antelopes roaming the plains they used to be all over the United States now that's mostly Wyoming and Montana
He is correct. There was a photo of the prong horn antelope which is still prolific in New Mexico, Texas panhandle, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, etc. But afterwards there was a photo of three larger species of antelope native to Africa.
They are called pronghorns and they live here in northern az.
Why would anyone take a family into Comanche Territory, and live 5 miles from the Fort or Town???
... and, Wealth is not a good answer
Sounds as though she was murdered like her mother and brother. I don’t recall seeing any blonde Comanches either her of children she might’ve had.
Blonde hair is a recessive traits, so for a person to have blonde hair, the genetics have to come from both the father and mother. If that doesn’t happen, the trait is quickly bred out.
There are lots of blond Native Americans these days. Lots.
@@lisabaltzer4190 my husband and I both have black hair with light haired family members. Our daughter has dirty blond reddish hair.

"Thoughts + Feelings X Beliefs"

Frequency attracts like Energy Frequency, this our Higher Thoughts, positive thought energies and Wisdom reside in our "Higher Mind aka Mature Mind".
Yet all that is pumped through the web and airwaves are that which is defined as of the "Lower Mind aka Ego Mind aka Adolescent Mind", ("fear, prejudices, judging, accusations, the envy, jealousy, etc all low Vibe Energies that demonstrate drama and toxic ideas.")
We literally create our experiences through our "Thoughts + Feelings X Beliefs" and learning of this Law is like being given the key to experiencing a far more Positive Life Journey of Experiences.
This Law was the Foundation from which Yeshua/Jesus was teaching. (I realized this during my studies of the Law and Ancient History of the New Testament Era and the Academic Understanding of the New Testament and Gnostic Gospels.
. Constatine's Priests, tasked with Establishing Christianity as his "1 State Religion", took liberties, editing and writing the subject to support an Emperor's Administrative Agenda.

I’m a strawberry blonde, more blonde than red. For every red hair in my head I have about twenty blonde. This was unsettling. 😢😢Hope she ended up having a good life with the Comanche.
All three of my sons were born with red hair that turned strawberry blonde. I was so jealous because mine was mousy brown.
I doubt she did.
My mother’s side of the family are redheads from the North Western area of Mexico. Native Mexicans and Native American tribes, who crossed into Mexico, were amazed by my mother’s family red hair and beards and would consistently asked to take their daughters as their wives, which caused a few conflicts between the three companies. Those were crazy times.
Im from the Bay Mills of Ojibwe in Michigan and my family has passed down the scalps of two French, four English and nine American settlers. Now they are buried because my Aunt is Christian and won't let my uncle hang them in the house😢.

I love the fact that the story teller has red hair..
Coming from three separate northeast native tribes it is a balance between having respect for some tribes, and acknowledging the absolute disgust that I feel when hearing of the violence and disregard for life of other tribes. And these grotesque tribes were equally as violent and blood thirsty to other native tribes as they were to whites.
I saw a story about a woman with long red hair who was murdered and scalped along with the party she was travelling with on a river boat on Faces of the Forgotten's channel. Can't remember exactly where this occurred but I think somwhere in the area of what is now western Montana or Wyoming. According to the story, the Indian who killed and scalped her regretted doing so according to a white captive.

The indians were nomads fighting other tribes, had no written language, and built homes out of stacked rocks, at a time when Europeans were building cathedrals, naturally these cultures would clash.

So much for the misunderstood Native American’s…This is why they had to be put on reservations… My Grandmother was Cherokee/Iraquoi,,,born in 1894.
The indigenous Americans ranged from peaceful farmers to the worst cut-throats imaginable. The USA was built on genocide against the Indians, industrial scale slavery of Africans, and the ruthless exploitation of wave after wave of impoverished Europeans. God bless America.
I have memory's from the other side. We grew up with grandpa's scalps that were passed down in the family hanging in the closet. The white settlers were just as nasty to us and could not be trusted to keep their word.
Liar. MY grandfather was a settler. He had a gate on the west side of his rnch and one on the east side so the Indians could cross his ranch. They never once left the gate open.
It's so sad, but look what was done to them. And it was there land.😢
You mean it was land that the Comanche stole from other tribes whom they terrorized.
Liar. It was not their land. It was land that they had occupied after running other Indians from it.
Llano is pronounced Yano.....it means plains.....as in Llano Estacado.....staked plains
Not sacred to most tribes. They wanted it for ritual purpose only. After all, these people were stealing their land !!!!! 😡
A similar thing happened to an ancestor of mine by the name of Ruth Shoemaker in the 1800s. I think her parents were immigrants from either Scotland or England, but I’d need to double check. To be fair, I read it years and years ago.
According to an officially compiled ancestry book that was made in 1923 by a certified genealogist she had quite the story to tell.
I doubt it’s 100% accurate just because it’s made by humans that have their own cultural biases, but it did tell an interesting story. Probably THE most exciting story in generations of my family on either side.
Red heads run reeeeeeeelly strong in my family…like Weasley strong. We’re mostly Scottish and Irish and miscellaneous European and like 5% indigenous American if 23&me is to be believed.
It’s actually kinda funny how stereotypically ginger so much of my family have been. I don’t know if Ruth was a ginger herself though. No pictures. I had never considered the reason other than selling her until this moment.
They chose to kill the parents and the newborn baby but kept her and she was about two at the time. I’ve never understood why they chose to kill the baby if the whole point of the operation was to sell children. I mean, a baby would be way easier to assimilate into their tribe. They wouldn’t have any lasting memories.
Ruth was sold to another tribe (not all tribes engaged in slavery, in fact most did not so let’s not get it twisted and go “white victim”) after her family was massacred by a group of dudes from another tribe and lived with the tribe they sold her to until she was 18 and she left on her own and the spawn of gingers seems to have continued if she actually was one herself lol.
They didn’t say “escaped” they said “returned” so I doubt she was treated like dirt for revenge.
Her major footnote in the family besides the massacre in the album is “sold to Tecumseh’s tribe as a baby” but there is no way to prove that so it’s not really something to “brag about.
It never said she was treated as a slave either and she was free to leave when she was an adult, so I cannot pass judgement on her treatment one way or the other. I like to think they treated her fairly, but she still wanted to “go home.” Perhaps her otherness never went away due to possible red hair.
They could have easily bought her to save her and she chose to leave on her own. We will literally never know so I refuse to form a judgement until presented with absolute facts. I’m assuming he wasn’t the only Tecumseh in the world at that time anyway.
I’m not gonna pretend it was anything more than their individual decisions and not an order from the leaders of their tribe. They could have been outlaws from their home tribe for all history knows so it’s not fair to blame anyone other than the murderers.
Even though these events definitely happened, it’s important to remember that the Native Americans had it way worse and lost way more than our individual families ever did.
All the lives were treated as if they didn’t matter and they did matter, but one side lost everything else as well and still suffer to this day. Let’s not use what happened to some of us to to deny what happened to all of them.
Nothing to do with the channel, more for any white victimhood angry comments that may appear.
San Saba is pronounced San Say-ba.
The Comanches were very primitive and barbaric!!!
Makes you wonder who was the brainchild behind the This Land is my land video game.
But I know about the Civil War. Since I was from New Jersey I was a Yankee.Then 20 years ago we moved to Florida.
The Mohawks took my ancestor and her two children leaving them alive for their red hair. They were traded to the Shawnee who didn’t keep slaves. The two women never left but Indian Bill Galloway went back to white society.

You must not be from Texas.
What are you talking about? IT IS PRONOUNCED LANO. Troll.
My family has been in Llano over 100 years. It’s pronounced with an L, not the Spanish ya.
The town is pronounced with an “L”. When referring to the panhandle staked plains, Llano Estacado, we Texans pronounce it in Spanish.
Are you a yankee, the way you talk about Lincolns war on the South, sounds like it. Plus it doesn't sound like you know much of the actual history of Lincolns war on the South.
He was reading from that magazine he kept showing.

@@DebKC-bj9jo I am 78 years old and have studied all my life on certain topics. When in high school the librarian in our school told me I read more books than any other student. Here is an example of what one can come up with by reading actual history.
The Confederate States of America (1861-1865) started with an agrarian-based economy that relied heavily on slave-worked plantations for the production of cotton for export to Europe IF CLASSED AS AN INDEPENDENT COUNTRY, the area of the Confederate States would have ranked as the FOURTH-RICHEST COUNTRY OF THE WORLD IN 1860." (Wikipedia: Economy of the Confederate States of America).
To "preserve the Union" Treasury, Lincoln could not afford to let the South secede. Five days after the evacuation of Ft Sumter, Lincoln published President Proclamation NO. 81 on April 19, 1861.
"Whereas an insurrection against the Government of the United States has broken out in the States of South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas, and the laws of the United States FOR THE COLLECTION OF THE REVENUE (TAX MONEY) can not be effectually executed therein conformably to that provision of the Constitution which requires DUTIES (REVENUE TAX MONEY) to be uniform throughout the UNITED STATES; ......"
Lincoln's Presidential Proclamation NO. 82, April 27. 1861 (after more Southern States secede)
"Whereas since that date, public property of the United States has been seized, THE COLLECTION OF THE REVENUE (TAX MONEY) OBSTRUCTED, ....."
Even the US House of Representatives joined in:
Crittenden-Johnson Resolution issued by the US House of Representatives, 25 July, 1861 four days after the defeat of the invading US Army at Manassas, VA (Bull Run).
"Resolved by the House of Representatives of the Congress of the United States, That the present deplorable civil war has been forced upon the country by the disunionists of the Southern States now in revolt against the constitutional Government and in arms around the capital; that in this national emergency Congress, banishing all feelings of mere passion or resentment, WILL RECOLLECT ONLY ITS DUTY (REVENUE TAX MONEY) TO THE WHOLE COUNTRY; that this war is not waged upon our part in any spirit of oppression, nor for any purpose of conquest or subjugation, NOR PURPOSE OF OVERTHROWING OR INTERFERING WITH THE RIGHTS OR ESTABLISHED "INSTITUTIONS" (such as slavery) OF THOSE STATES, but to defend and maintain the supremacy of the Constitution and TO PRESERVE THE UNION (Treasury), with all the dignity, equality, and rights of the several States unimpaired; and that as soon as these objects are accomplished the war ought to cease.
"The role of slavery became the proclaimed cause of [Lincoln's] war because it was necessary to put the South at a moral disadvantage by transforming the contest from a war for independence into a war waged for the maintenance and extension of slavery!" Woodrow Wilson, US President
English author, Charles Dickens, author of A Christmas Carol and Oliver Twist:
"The Northern onslaught upon slavery was no more than a piece of specious humbug designed to conceal its desire for ECONOMIC CONTROL of the Southern states." (Google: Charles Dickens, piece of specious humbug).
Dickens owned a magazine called All the Year Round. In it, an article attacked the tariff . “…under all the passion of the parties and the cries of battle lie the two chief moving causes of the struggle,” it said. “Union means so many millions a year lost to the South; SECESSION MEANS THE LOSS OF THE SAME MILLIONS TO THE NORTH. The love of money is the root of this, as of many other evils…”
