About this listen
On May 19, 1836, Fort Parker in Texas was overwhelmed by a band of Comanche Indians. Some residents were brutally murdered, others taken prisoner.
Among those captured was 11-year-old Cynthia Parker, who would remain with the Comanche for 24 years and give birth to famed Chief Quanah.
Another captive was 17-year-old Rachel Plummer, mother of one, pregnant with her second child. She would soon have her first-born ripped from her arms, never to be seen again, and later watched as her second-born was killed before her eyes.
After 21 months of captivity that destroyed her health, she was purchased and returned to her family. In this extraordinary account, her father tells of that horrible day when the fort was attacked, and his desperate efforts to find and retrieve the captives. Rachel details her terrible enslavement and how she eventually fought back.

Disappointing
The problem for me was the narrator’s their voices were boring and they sounded bored! I was told that the story was shocking and very graphic, well that’s untrue her captive story was more about flora and fauna! There wasn’t too much about her life after her children had passed away the story about how her baby died was shocking and horrific and that was the only place, nothing after.
