What happened to Jane Wilson? How did she survive, all alone, the harshness of the Texas plains. What happened to the brothers? In this episode we conclude Jane's personal narrative and dig even deeper to answer these questions and more. And the story of Mrs. Wilson and the boys is not just their survival tale. Another person survived their own terrible experience as well. Listen to hear more of this exciting tale!

WARNING: This episode shares a story of extreme cruelty and violence perpetuated in the 1850. Do not listen unless you are prepared for a graphic, but true, story of captivity. It also includes unacceptable pejoratives and epithets against Native peoples that were common for the time period.
