Comanche Captive

Comanche Captive is the engrossing story of Laura Little-rescued by the U.S. Cavalry, torn from her Comanche-born son, and forcibly resettled in Fort Worth. Not even the walls of a sanitarium can keep her there. Back on the high plains, she meets Scott Renald, an army "redeemer" on a mission to negotiate for Indian captives. Touched by her story, he leads her search for her son. But this is also an account of the 10th Cavalry of buffalo soldiers, an African-American troop led by white officers and tasked with Indian removal. As Laura's urgent search and a rapid military campaign collide, loyalties are tested, a surprising family drama unfolds, and two civilizations absorb the impact. In 2021, D. Laszlo Conhaim released the Comanche Captive sequel, The Unredeemed, which won a Best Novel prize in the 2022 Will Rogers Medallion Awards and received a Finalist Best Novel placement in the Western Fictioneers' Peacemaker Awards.
