This episode shares the story of Jane Wilson's hard life, centered around the harsh experience of being taken captive by a group of Comanche people in the 1850s.

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.
