About this episode
This episode introduces a new series focusing on the lives of Dot and Bianca Babb, two young children taken from their home on the Texas frontier and their subsequent life with the Comanche people.
WARNING: This episode shares a story of extreme cruelty and violence perpetuated in the 1860s. 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.
