Cynthia Ann Parker is the most famous Indian captive in American history. In 1833, her family moved to Texas and built Fort Parker. Comanche warriors attacked the fort in 1836 and took young Cynthia Ann captive. She spent the next twenty-four years with the Indians, eventually marrying the warrior Peta Nocona, with whom she had two sons and a daughter. In 1860 Texas Rangers and federal soldiers abducted her, with her infant daughter, in an attack on a Comanche encampment in north Texas. She struggled to readjust to white-man life. Her son, Quanah Parker, became the most important Comanche leader of his day.
