Among the captives waa a squaw, who was weeping and lamenting. She had with her an Infant girl. During the raid her. two small sons and her husband had disappeared. She waa distressed by the fear they had been killed. However, they had all escaped. The Texans were familiar with the Parker atory and thought perhaps this woman might be the long-los- t Cynthia Ann. They took her and her daughter, Prairie Flower, back to Texas with them. During her captivity her parents fair-haire- d, bine-eye- d i re-b- . waa assured. Qunah died February 23, 1911, and buried on a high knoll In an In-cemetery near Cache.

The Wfery had died. Her unde; Col. Isaac Parker,.took her to hla home and then her atory became known. After the Parker raid she waa carried to the hunting grounds of the Comanches In the Wichita mountains. There she grew np among the tribe, learned their language, adopted their customs, forgot her natlA tongue,' and became bronzed and featured like an Indian. When she became of marriageable age probably aboqt her fifteenth year she became the wife of Chief Nacona, one of the most noted and warlike men of the tribe. Three children were born to her, little Prairie Flower and the two boys who had escaped In the raid. One of the boys was Qnanah marker, who succeeded Ida father to the chieftainship. Qnanah the Parker was added later was a leader from boyhood. In hla early teens he headed a. band of fearless raiders. He stole horses from Mexicans numbering Into the thousands.

Within a short time Gen. Nelson A. Miles was In the field with a' body of troops which forced the surrender of most of . ,, the bostiles. But Quanah refused to surrender. For nearly a year he held out, then realizing the futility of trying to resist further, he gave up the struggle and declared hla Intention of following the white mans road." . The other great Indian whose memory is to be preserved la an enduring monument la Chief Joseph of the Nes Perces, one of the greatest military leaders ever developed on this continent and a man who won for himself the title of the Indian Napoleon. Two years ago congress created a national monument In Montana, the alte of the battle of the Bears Paw where In 1877 Gen. Nelson A. Miles captured Chief Joseph and his tribesmen after one of the most brilliant retreats In the history of Indian warfare. During the last congress a bill was Introduced providing for the erection of a monument there which would commemorate the achievement! of the great Indian soldier and preserve for future generations the pernor? of him as a patriot and a man. Here briefly la the achievement of Chief Joseph during that remarkable retreat: Encumbered with women snd children, which he refused to desert and allow to fall Into the hands of the soldiers as be might have done several times to facilitate his flight, and. having a fighting force that never exceeded 300 warriors, he fought eleven engagements, five of them pitched battles of which he lost bnt one; In the other six skirmishes he killed 126 and wounded 140 of the 2.000 soldiers who fought him, but he lost 151 killed and 88 wounded of his own people. Then having distanced his pur suers avid knowing that he was only 50 miles from the Canadian line and safety (for he did not know of the approach of General Miles troops) be made the fatal mistake of stopping fur a little while to give his weary tribesmen a chance for a brief rest Here In the Bear Paw mountains, where the memorial to him Is to be erected. General Miles attacked on September 30, 1877. For five days Joseph and hla little band, greatly out numbered, withstood the attack of Miles soldiers. Finally artillery waa brought to bear upon their defenses and on October 4 Chief Joseph gave op the contest. He never fought again. - prop! con-totin-g -- tot-Ifitu- two-tsn- th .. . e .. . . twa-thlr- pra-axdl- h. sped-Orall- . -- s ad Je m LI t an TTlt&flKytAJiJ-- l Ul |
