Thank you for bringing us the real and true history. Really appreciate your focus on the women, who were brutaly abused. Such bravery and endurance they showed, impressive!
@N -U- M -U- N -U- You need to read 'Indian Depredations in Texas' by J.W.Wilbarger and see what the Commences did to white women and children they captured. Scalping was probably the least barbaric thing they did. As I said simply savages of the sorts kind.
Matilda was my 3rd great aunt, sister of my 3rd great grandmother Sarah Elvira Lockhart/Gilbert. Thank you for sharing! Looking forward to watching more of your videos.
Really !That really brings home that these things were happening a few generations ago. This wasn’t Ancient Rome or medieval England. We have direct connections to these atrocities. Her poor parents. She returns home having suffered horrifically for years and hideously disfigured , the council house fight breaks out with the result that the Comanches torture and kill her 6 year old sister. Mathilda then probably then dies of stress and injuries that the wretches inflicted on her. Just awful.
@NVMVNV You are a very stupid and shallow man if you think looking for typos (especially in a name that can be spelt both ways ) is proving an argument or making you look clever. It certainly says a lot more about you than it does about the other poster.
Thanks for these informative videos, they really bring home how wild the Texas frontier was, and the courage and tenacity of the people who lived there.
Great story a miracle how Judith was returned. Does Amazon sell this book ? My 5 Th great grandmother Catherine Eaton Sanders was massacred near Jacksboro Tx in what is known as the Landman Gage Massacre during Nocona’s Raid in 1860. Like many my maternal line has ties to Texas history. I visited the Jacksboro area including 2 cemeteries related to my ancestors. The massacre area on Los creek was fenced and gated I was so disappointed if possible I hope to seek info on visiting the actual site by the owner maybe place a cross, flowers just something. l feel Texas should place a historical marker at the road like they have other sites.My newest grandson is a member of the Comanche Tribe life comes full circle . Love your channel.
Wow, that is quite the family circle! Yes, Amazon sells this book for $14.99 - Indian Depredations in Texas. There are several stories from near Grayson County in the book, so I think there's a good chance your 5th great grandmother's story is in there.
Like the story but some information is wrong . I'm a great grandson x 5 of Mitchell Putman. There were 5 Putman children picking pecans that day. My great grandmother x4 Margaret Jane was 12 years old and hide in some brush and escaped catcher. Juda Putman was two years old not seven. James was 7 years old, Sarah Elizabeth was 5 years old, Rhoda was 14 years old. Rhoda did not marry an Indian Chief and refuse to return home . she was last seen by her sister Sarah Elizabeth before the Indians let Sarah go. Rhoda was never seen or heard from. . She was the same age as Matilda Lockhart and was treated in the same cruel way. James told his father that the Indians killed Rhoda. We will never know for sure. Great Grandmother x 5 Rebecca died of a broken heart. she lost the will to live after the children were taken. Sarah Elizabeth Putman Mitchell gave an interview to Frontier Times Magazine about her capture and life with her captures.
@NVMVNV The Indians had been subdued by 1924..... Them raiding and R@ping and killing settlers was long since passed by the 1900s. Surely you already know that though, so what is your point?
My Fathet would have loved these videos, he would regale me of tales of the Olld West when I was a child, the sheer determination and will of these pooneers is awe inspiring, truly , wills of Iron to forge a life out of the wilderness. Tough, hard and wills of Iron, willing and able to do what had to be done to defend the Family at all costs.
One comment and its replies demonstrates why racism may always be with us. While I see the Comanches as no better than the Huns, I wouldn't as far as support extermination. The three repliers are examples of tribalism and self-justification. And, it's harder to reason with people from groups who've suffered persucution. When someone from their group harms others, they act like the minority. As long as millions of people refuse to do self-reflection, racism will always be a problem.
The Comanche were part of the human race and thus capable of being cruel like every human around the world. They were the most vicious of the American Indian tribes apparently.
What surprises me about the Comanches is their almost complete lack of empathy for their captives. Nothing was taboo. Throwing a baby on the fire was like chucking on another log. This isn’t unheard of amongst humans but normally it’s condemned as evil by others. It seems that as they are Native Americans they get a free pass. If they had been a million strong they would have wiped out everything before them. All this is in the past but we are constantly told the past is important as the present.
@@arthurbrumagem3844 …and these facts seem very uncomfortable for some. For me it’s more about acknowledging what these often completely innocent settlers went through to help create a nation. The women particularly were absolutely heroic. And it wasn’t that long ago. This is not ancient history. I’m from the UK and we have a long bloody history going back thousands of years. But we were making a great fuss/ hysteria about a chap called Jack the Ripper who murdered 5 women by cutting their throats in London during the 1800s. But quite frankly this pales into insignificance to what victims of Comanches suffered in their many hundreds at around the same time. They would have been relieved for Jack the Ripper to come and finish them off.
The Guadalupe mountains are about 600 miles west, from The Guadalupe River at Gonzales, that ain’t no 24 hour horseback ride. And Cuero is south of Gonzales. Lol Many of these accounts were not written by Wilbarger, but were taken from other writers. He did try to verify all the accounts the best he could. My 5th great grandmother Sarah DeWitt, kept records regarding the settlers in her colony, I wish one day I could find them.
They believe Rhoda was killed.....Juda was given land by my grandfather Mitchel Putman in Hays County Texas but they were never close. My grandmother smoked pipes and they found them all around the property.
We hear so much about Cynthia Parker & her inability to adapt back to the " White" life after captivity. I wonder how these girls fared after their return. I mean 21 years( 14 with the Commanche)) , 7 years with a trapper, it won't pleasant either although alotof this has gone up unsaid.
@@elliottd296 ..don't know if she " enjoyed" the life-style. By that point, it was all she knew.. Perhaps, subconsciously, far back in her memory, she realized she wouldn't fit in. Also, with a couple kids left behind, that probably weighed on her mind.
Juda married Richard Gipson, Sarah Elizabeth married George Mitchell. Sarah Michell gave an interview to Frontier Times Magazine about her life with the Indians. She was 5 years old at the time of capture and was return after about 4 years. She could or would not speak English. She was returned to San Antonio and by luck three men from Gonzales just happen to be in there and noticed she had blonde hair and looked like a Putman. The three men took turns riding with the girl as she tried to get away from them. One of the men rode ahead to let the Putman know they were bringing in a girl that could be one of the girls taken. He warned that she did not speak and may not be a Putman. The two men rode up with the girl. Her head was turned away from her sister who was looking at the girl to see if it was was a Putman. suddenly the little girls head turned and like she woke from a trance shouted sister, sister. they knew then little Sarah was home.
that is the same conclusion I arrived at, Historically we have documents about how the Gov't treated the Indian Nations terribly, and white racism and all that jazz. But Indian raids, looting, predatory attacks, murder, torture, kidnapping, rape and so on made the white settlers want to exterminate them. Just the way it was, the Indians were doomed.
@NVMVNV The Nooksacks, Lummis, Nisqually, Swinnomish, Quinault, Makah, Upper Skagit..... they all heavily net the coastal rivers with little oversight despite increasingly lower salmon returns. It's almost like they care more about money for themselves than fish for future generations.
Poor girl, when I first heard of this I wondered what man could do this to a girl,it was then that I wondered if it was jealous females, seems I was right

Never would fall asleep in history class, if they told these stories.

I was sitting here bored hoping you released another 1 today! Thank you Mr Worthy! You are super!!
More to come!
Come on with it ole partner! 😊
The Comanches wrote the book on torment and torture.
Simply savages.
They was bad Indins.
So did the British and the early American settlers ripping off the land and killing Indians like they were animals.

@NVMVNV And this from someone who thinks England and Britain are two different countries. I’d honestly rather be dyslexic than be that dumb.
@NVMVNV I wouldn’t try to prove anyone wrong that can’t reason and debate in a civil way.
Hi from Canada…. I’ve listened to several stories already…. Keep them coming! Cheers 🇨🇦
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for these informative videos, they really bring home how wild the Texas frontier was, and the courage and tenacity of the people who lived there.
how anyone could do that kind of torture is mind boggling....you cannot harm a child without damaging your soul.

Wow,,, so sad.
No big dipper it was a weird atmosphere back then .
Matilda had her nose burnt off as well as numerous other scars( as told in this narrative)& had been violated numerous times. Very sad ending.
Yes, of all these stories I've read, to me, this one is the saddest so far. As they say in many of these stories, "a captivity worse than death."
@NVMVNV What relevance does that have to the time period being discussed?
@NVMVNV The Indians had been subdued by 1924..... Them raiding and R@ping and killing settlers was long since passed by the 1900s. Surely you already know that though, so what is your point?
@NVMVNV The British and English? You sound drunk.

Even the Apaches were afraid of the Comanches.

Sorry evil demons! THANK THE LORD, that my ancestors and multitudes of other brave men rid Texas of these blood thirsty heathens!
I lived in Cuero TX for years, have never head this story
And her blood run through cali texas and Mississippi
I grew up in Young County Texas. One of my best friends was a cactus.
peyote?
Indian Depravations in Texas stories make me think of being in Iraq. Fellow service members always joked this is the wild west. They were correct.
The Guadalupe mountains are about 600 miles west, from The Guadalupe River at Gonzales, that ain’t no 24 hour horseback ride. And Cuero is south of Gonzales. Lol

It's ok Texas Rebel.alot of things as time went on where lost and exaggerated.
