I've been reading the book "Empire of the Summer Moon" by S.C. Gwynne. A very interesting story mainly taking place in the early and mid 1840's in mostly Texas. A quick summary would be a woman from Texas, Cynthia Ann Parker taken captive by Comanches that has a son who in turn becomes an important Chief. True story, Parker was taken in a raid when she was young. Her family is prominent in Texas politics, and has members who formed the Texas Rangers. Worth the read IMO.
