In 1870, ten-year-old Adolph Korn was kidnapped by Indians. He thrived in the Comanches' rough, nomadic existence, quickly becoming one of the tribe's fiercest warriors. Forcibly returned to his parents after three years, Korn never adjusted to life in white society. He spent his last years in a cave, all but forgotten by his family. Then Scott Zesch stumbled upon his great-great-great-uncle's grave. Determined to understand how a "good boy" could become Indianized so completely, Zesch traveled across the West, digging through archives, speaking with Comanche elders, and tracking eight other child captives from the region with hauntingly similar experiences.
