Evaluation Out Of Books Ride the Wind

I read The Red Heart by James Alexander Thom, and I thought that was the best written account of a white adopted by natives that I had ever read now Im not so sure, this was a very moving and well written story, and while it was rather long it was well worth my time. An excellent account of Nautdah (Cynthia Ann Parker ) who lived with The People for 24 years a story full of sadness and drama and love and some inaccuracies too, although not as many as can be found in any Google search of this

Still one of my all time favorite books! Based on historical events, this is a story of Cynthia Ann Parkers abduction and assimilation into the lives of the Comanches that kidnapped her. It outlines the gradual fall of the people. Beautiful, yet haunting. The incredible sadness will stay with you for months, if not years.

Despite the deceiving cover that makes it look like a cheap romance, Ride the Wind shares the story of a young girl who is adopted into a Native American tribe. As she grows, the American government's presence becomes even more prominent and threatens the traditional culture and way of life for her adopted family. I felt that Lucia St.Clair Robson really wanted readers to get a feeling for 19th century life, the dangers faced by early settlers, the life of the Native Americans etc. The good and

My Mom was really into Native American books, so I read this book when I was a teenager. I wasn't all that into reading novels at the time, but I loved this book. Afterward, I tried to read Follow The River (it's another historical fiction novel) and could not get interested in it because I just kept comparing it to Ride the Wind. I was very intrigued by the Native American lifestyle and it had a wonderful love story.

One of my personal all-time favorites. Do not be put off by the rotten cover. This isn't a trashy sex romance. It is actually a true story - the major incidents did happen. You'll become deeply attached to the characters and be heartbroken, in more ways than one, when it ends. I have spoken.

One of my all-time favourite books. I still get emotional even though I have read it several times. A classic.

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
