Book Overview
In December 1860, along a creek in northwest Texas, a group of U.S. Cavalry and Texas Rangers raided a Comanche hunting camp, killed several Indians, and took three prisoners. One was the woman they would identify as Cynthia Ann Parker, taken captive from her white family as a child a quarter century before. The event became the stuff of history and legend--based, as it turns out, on errors, falsifications, and mysteries. Myth, Memory, and Massacre peels away assumptions surrounding one of the most infamous episodes in Texas history, even while it adds new dimensions to the question of what constitutes reliable knowledge.
