Judgment About Books Ride the Wind

I'm a little torn on this book between 3 and 4 stars. Part of me LOVED it. I'm a fan of historical fiction and this story about the last few decades of the "free" Comanches is something I was unfamiliar with. The plot was quite fascinating and I liked the Wanderer/Nadua love story.On the other hand, the first half of the book was markedly better than the second half. The second half was full of cliches,e.g., "We're in love and our two awesome horses had TWINS that look just like their parents".

A CAPTIVATING, HAUNTING GLIMPSE INTO TEXAS HISTORYMany of the paperback covers make this book look like a cheesy western romance novel. Do not be fooled! Ride the Wind is based on the true story of Cynthia Ann Parker, who was kidnapped in 1836 during a brutal raid by the Comanche Indians, then adopted and raised by the tribe. I was stunned by my change in perspective at the beginning, I was horrified by the savagery of the Indians; by the end, I was furious with the savagery and ignorance of

If you are looking for a book about what it would be like to live with Indians, this is the book. It is based on the true story of a 9 year old white girl that was captured by Indians. The story line is definitely fictional though, as there is no written account from Cynthia Anne, the white girl, only that information from her white relatives and her oldest son, Quanah, the last free Indian Chief. She was raised by a Comanche Indian family and married an Indian chief and had three children with

One of my favorite books of all time! The story of Cynthia Ann Parker, so if you are into Texas history you will love it! The opening scene is extremely gruesome, so just be forewarned. After that, it isn't quite so graphic. Lucia St. Clair Robson does a brilliant job relaying this story in a captivating, compelling and compassionate way. . .

This book is beautiful, uplifting, shocking, hopeful, desolate, almost any emotion possible to feel will be aroused. St. Clair Robson takes the kidnapping of a young plainsgirl, and tells the story that will live in your heart years after reading it. The white child who grows to marry a chief. Who bears the very last free Comanche chief in America. Is she still white?She pulls no punches. She shows us the brutalities with which the Indians were treated, but on the other side of the coin, in the

I read this book years and years ago, and it's still one of my favorites. I could not put this down. The descriptions are so vivid I could smell the prairie air, and the characters are done so well they've stayed with me all these years. I loved the hero, Nocona, so much I even named my next dog after him :)A warning though, this book is absolutely wrenching and not for the faint of heart. But I promise if you read it, you'll never forget it. Incredible piece of writing.

I'm a big book loaner. Every time I read something I loved, my first impulse is to give it to someone else immediately, "here, read this!". And a lot of times, I never get that book back. If I really loved it, I go and buy it again, so I still have a copy. Consequently, I have owned 7 copies of this book (yeah, I am dumb, because I kept loaning it out). The last time I bought it, I was told it was out of print, so I held on to that copy.I've always been interested in Native American history, and
