The amazing story of Cynthia Ann Parker, also known as Naduah, was an Anglo-American who was approximately 10 years old when kidnapped in 1836 by a Comanche war band which had attacked her family's settlement. Her Comanche name means "someone found." Parker was adopted by the Comanche and lived with them for 24 years, completely forgetting her white ways. At approximately age 34, Parker was discovered and relocated by the Texas Rangers, but spent the remaining 10 years of her life refusing to adjust to life in white society. At least once, she escaped and tried to return to her Comanche family but was again brought back. Parker found it difficult to understand her iconic status as one redeemed from the Comanches. Apparently heartbroken, she stopped eating and died in 1871 at age 44.
