In the Bosom of the Comanches

By: T.A. Babb

Narrated by: Rafael Neve

The chronicle of Theodore Adolphus “Dot” Babb is a factual and fascinating account of his and his younger sister’s 1865 capture by a Comanche band near what is today Decatur, Texas. They were taken to an area in what became the state of Oklahoma and adopted into the tribe, where Babb observed all facets of the tribe’s customs and participated in activities like horse taming, until both children were ransomed by their father in 1867. Babb kept in contact with the tribe and the next decade the family lived with the Comanche for a year before settling in Wichita Falls.

Interesting Story that got confusing

The story was good but there wasn't much substance to the authors time as a captive. once the children arrived home there were other narratives and stories that caused confusion on my part on who was telling them and what was the context.
The narrator had a deep, rich great voice but his Spanish accent and pronunciations were way out of place in the story.
Other things became annoying like saying 1900's instead of 1800's and saying "Wise Coe" instead of 'Wise County". Overall it wasn't unbearable.
