Ride the Wind by Lucia St. Clair Robson

4.0

This historical fiction novel is brutal. This book spans the life of Cynthia Ann Parker, the infamous child captive of the Comanche, through her integration into Native American culture to her eventual capture and unwilling delivery back to her white family. Set during the final decades of the free Comanche and with a narrative delivered from the viewpoints of dozens of characters the pure epic span of this faithfully told story is impressive. It doesn't pull it's punches when depicting the brutality of the time though so it's not for the squeamish.
