Among the most enduring tales of the Old West is the story of John Parker and his sister, Cynthia Ann Parker, who were kidnapped by the Comanches in 1836 from Texas. Raised by their captors, they later became Comanches. Cynthia married Peta Nocona, chief of the Qwahadi Band, and had several children, including Quanah Parker, chief of the Comanches. Of John Parker, though, nothing further is known with certainty. However, legends of him still ride the wind. The most often heard relates how John Parker became a great warrior and traveled to Mexico with the Comanches on their yearly raids. These raids caused horrific and widespread damage and loss of life, from the Rio Grande, south, all the way to Queretaro and Guadalajara, deep in Mexico—an incredible distance of more than a thousand miles from the Comanche homeland. Even Mexico City lay in dread of being attacked. Hundreds of thousands of horses and cattle were taken as well as numerous hostages. During one such raid, John Parker took seriously ill and was left in the Chisos Mountains, just across the border in south Texas, to recuperate, along with a young Mexican woman, who the Comanches had taken hostage. They fell in love, married, and returned to Mexico, living happily there for many years. But there’s so much more to this story that yet rides the wind.

Download A British Butterfly Collector on the Texas Frontier Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
The protagonist is a young British butterfly collector who, working for the British Museum in London, collected the little-known butterflies and moths at the time in Texas in 1840. The collector teamed with a Spanish seorita to collect them across Texas when traveling in an ox-drawn covered wagon over rough and muddy roads and through the ranges of hostile Native Americans. The book is about their collections and, at times, hazardous adventures. The text is a natural history of the butterfly and moth species pictured. The book is also a history of pioneer Texas of the 1840s as well as the ethnology of Comanche Indians.

Grey Eagle sits on a cloud in the heavens with other babies, children, and young-almost-adults who left the earthly world before their time. He can see his clan below, working the gardens, hunting, and fishing and going about daily tasks. He can see celebrations as well as everyday life. He can also see his mother, Green Willow. She is not the calm and loving person she was when he left the earthly world. He could see that she was in great pain and grieved for her lost son. "Listen to me, Mother," screamed Grey Eagle. Angry sparks flew from his fingers and caused fierce lightning bolts to streak across the heavens, only to become gentle fireflies dancing in the wind. Grey Eagle was unable to ease his mother's pain, and he became more and more irritated with the passing of time. His tears of frustration became gentle rain to cool his mother's face. His fists beat into the clouds and caused blinding snowstorms, but they became soft silken snowflakes silently kissing the ground and creating lacy mantles of white covering his mother's raven-black hair. Grey Eagle's pattern of hurt, anger, and deep frustration had been unchanged for many moons. Pleas and requests for help from the Great Spirit are a last resort for Grey Eagle and Green Willow, but will he listen?

Download Dances of the Tewa Pueblo Indians Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Great changes have swept the world of the Tewa Indian peoples of New Mexico since 1985, when this volume first appeared, including changes in relationships between Indian communities and the anthropologists who wish to study them. Returning to her classic work, anthropologist Jill D. Sweet revisits the ideas and the people who first inspired her love of the Tewa Pueblo dances. The Tewa have become increasingly sophisticated in managing tourism, including the new casinos, to ensure that it contributes to the persistence and even the revitalization of ancient ritual practices. This expanded edition reflects these changes by featuring the voices of Tewa dancers, composers, and others to explain the significance of dance to their understanding of Tewa identity and community. The author frames their words with her own poignant reflections on more than twenty years of study and friendship with these creative and enduring people.

Download Tales of an Enchanted New Mexico Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Tales of an Enchanted New Mexico begins and ends with tales from Old New Mexico brought over dusty trails from Spain into the New World, and finally into Northern New Spain, ie, Northern New Mexico. Both La Llorona and Comadre Sebastiana have been adapted into short stories from the traditional mythological tales they are. The story of the Comanches is based in the late 1700’s, taken from the Comanche perspective as they lived their lives, and their interactions with local communities both Pueblo People and Spanish, and the government of their time. Manitou Bridge, the Taos Rio Grande Gorge Bridge story, as the Algonquian word manitou means, supernatural forces that permeate the world and in this case, brings animation to the major bridges in the story, as Manitou Springs in Colorado, by immersing oneself in the natural springs, one is animated.
