Kidnapped by the Comanches?

Thad Conway lived in the boonies in 1863 Texas. There was no school and no church. His parents only book was the Bible, so Thad not only read the BIble but his parents had Thad memorized large portions of the BIble. The Comanches captured Thad and had him for over a year. He found that they also had some of his friends, Melissa, Miz Sally and her two twin grandsons, Timmy and Tommy and another white child Willie. An Indian squaw pampered and loved the three little boys. His Thad's indian mother Little Rabbit loved him too. But Thad, Melissa and Miz Sally longed for home.Thad was blessed in that he had two older brothers who were Texas Rangers and they did not give up looking for him. He was also blessed by the Bible passages of God's promise to deliver us and he was kind to his Indian captors so that they were kind to him. By not fighting, but submitting to them Thad got treated better. When Thad got pneumonia his Indian mother did everything that she knew for him because she loved him.Thad learned to accept people as they are as God does.This is a great book that I could read over and over and I am an adult.I rated this book 100+++.

Awesome

This book was magnificent in how they interpreted life in Texas.

Excellent

A true story of Texas life in the 1860's. Thad Conway hates the Comanche Indians who periodically raid and massacre families along the Brazos river. Attacked and stolen by Indian warriors, he finds that Chief Yellow Cloud plans to adopt him as a son. A perfect children's book with a strong moral backbone.
