Whitesboro library displays Comanche Indian photo exhibit
WHITESBORO -- A unique photo exhibit centered around the Comanche Indian history is on display now through Dec. 10 at the Whitesboro Public Library.
The Cynthia Ann and Quanah Parker Trail Exhibit is a new heritage tourism effort of the Texas Lakes Trail Regional Heritage Tourism Program. The subtitle of the exhibit is "A Woman of Two Worlds and a Man in Two Worlds."
The courageous Parkers are important names in United States frontier history. In 1836, a Comanche raiding party took Cynthia Ann from her family and, over the following years, she became wife to a Comanche chief and mother to several children including Quanah. After Cynthia Ann was taken back by Texas Rangers, Quanah became one of the most important Comanche leaders, both in war and peace.
