The Captured
A True Story of Abduction by Indians on the Texas Frontier
Scott Zesch
The book chronicles the experiences of white children who were abducted by Native American tribes in the 19th century Texas frontier, focusing on the story of the author's ancestor, Adolph Korn, and others who were assimilated into tribal cultures and faced complex identities upon their return to white society. It explores the cultural clashes between settlers and Native Americans, and the profound personal transformations of the captives, some of whom struggled to readjust to their original communities.
