Texas woman (1827–1870) was captured in 1836 by Comanches during the raid of Fort Parker. She adapted to Comanche life during 24 years of captivity, taking a husband and bearing three children before she was taken, at age 34, by the Texas Rangers. Parker spent the remaining 10 years of her life trying to escape back to the Comanche people. ALS, signed “Wm. Clark,” one lightly-lined page, 7.25 x 9.25, no date, but circa April 8, 1861, to W. D. K. Taylor, Speaker of the House of Representatives. In full: “The Committee on engrosment have examined and find correctly engrossed ‘A Bill entitled’ an ‘act donating land to Cynthia Ann Parker and her daughter, To–Kusan [Topsannah] Parker’ and ‘an act granting a pension to Cynthia Ann Parker.” Light mirroring of ink, and a uniform shade of toning, otherwise fine condition. On April 8, 1861, a sympathetic Texas legislature voted her a grant of $100 annually for five years and a league of land and appointed Isaac D. and Benjamin F. Parker her guardians. The Robert Davis Collection.
