Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Rachel Parker Plummer (1818 - 1839) was the daughter of James W. Parker and the cousin of Quanah Parker, last free-roaming chief of the Comanches. An Anglo-Texan woman of Scots-Irish descent, she was kidnapped at the age of seventeen, along with her son, James Pratt Plummer, age two, and her cousins, by a Native American raiding party. Rachel Plummer''s 21 months among the Comanche as a prisoner became a sensation when she wrote a book about her captivity, Rachael Plummer''s Narrative of Twenty One Months Servitude as a Prisoner Among the Commanchee Indians, which was issued in Houston in 1838. This was the first narrative about a captive of Texas Indians published in the Republic of Texas, and it was a sensation not just there, but in the United States and even abroad. In 1844, after Rachel''s death, her father published a revised edition of her book asan appendix to his Narrative of the Perilous Adventures, Miraculous Escapes and Sufferings of Rev. James W. Parker.
