From Preface: "Two Mexican children were really captured some years since on the other side of the Rio Grande by the Indians, and carried off to the Llanos Estacados. After four years spent in captivity, they made their escape, and safely accomplished the almost impossible and truly incredible feat of walking three hundred miles... to bring them first to the frontier of Texas, and then restore then to their mother in Mexico."
