Texas, 1875. Elliot Lewis brought his wife westward, to build a new life. His dream was to start a ranch, raise some cattle and some kids. Elliot bought some land, just south of the of Sweetwater, Texas. He and his lovely wife began their ranch with a simple log cabin. They had several head of cattle, a cow for milking and some chickens. The first year of 1875 was hard, but the husband & wife struggled through. Elliot promised a better year for 1876. He expected good things, but Elliot was a product of his time. He was a white man who disliked the Native Americans. Always calling them "savages", for how they lived. Like many white people of this time. He saw the Indians, as being in the way of good white people trying to make something of the land. The Native Americans, of all tribes, saw the land and everything on it, as sacred. Each tribe had deep, spiritual beliefs. They saw the white man as disrespecting everything the great spirit placed on Earth.
Early in 1876. Elliot ran into trouble with some Comanche Warriors. He found them camping on land he owned. To the Comanche, the land was theirs and no white could make a claim on it. Elliot ran them off, killing two warriors with his rifle. He thought, the dirty savages wouldn't come back. Elliot thought, the Indians were cowards. He thought wrong. The Comanche did return and when they did, they brought hell with them. The group was led by Wolf, a brave & fearless warrior and his brother Running Elk. The brothers had six warriors with them, when they attacked the small ranch. They killed Elliot as he tried to fight them off. He was no match for them. Not since he made enemies out of them. The warriors then took whatever they wanted. Cattle, chickens and even Elliot's beautiful wife. She was now a captive of the wild Indians. The warriors burned down the cabin and barn. Leaving the area with their white prize, draped over the horse of Wolf. Her hands and feet tied.
