5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful story of the joys and tragedies of true love..., 16 Dec 1999
By A Customer
Ride the Wind by Lucia St. Clair Robson is a refreshing taleof true love set in the old west. The book is composed using various entrancing genres. For the adventure lover, historical fiction reader and for fans of romances-- this novel has it all. The book begins at Parker's Fort in the wilds of Texas, with young Cynthia Ann Parker, who is kidnapped as a young girl by the Comanche Indian tribe, on one of their many raids. Her captor, Wanderer, later becomes her one true love. Cynthia is accepted by the Comanches, is welcomed into their way of life, is bestowed with the name of Naduah, and is loved and respected by her husband, Wanderer, quite possibly the greatest Comanche war chief of all time, and the rest of the band. THe story ends tragically, carrying forever the story of an aching heart searching the plains of the midwest for its one true love, lost forever to another society and another culture...

5.0 out of 5 stars A moving true story, 21 May 2009
By Isabel Rodrigues (Faro, Portugal) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Ride the Wind (Mass Market Paperback)
History and romance meet in this absorbing true story of Cynthia Ann Parker abducted twice in her life (nobody should have to go through this once let alone twice...)the first by Comanche,the second by her people.This book narrates her life among the Comanche;we get to almost visualize their daily routines,see the countryside with them,feel the love for their land and their sorrow as they are taken by the new settlers without regard,see the buffalo disappear as they are killed without mercy by traders;but we also share in the fun and loving times of Naduah (name given to Cynthia by the Comanche).
It left me with great appreciation for the tribes and what they had to endure in order to survive and stay free a little longer.
Ms.Robson did a truly great job in research and trasmitting all the love and passion of the - People -

4.0 out of 5 stars Good but lacking truth?, 29 Dec 2008
By Casey Bridges "goddessmarian" (Wolverhampton) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Ride the Wind (Mass Market Paperback)
When choosing this book I found many reviews stating that this was a good historical novel with much accurate information. Whilst I understand the dates will be true I think the idea of the story is to outline the views of the people held at the time as well as to try and tell the story of the last days of the Comanche. I like to read of the views held by the people of the day but would hope people reading this will take certain cultural statements made by the writer with a pinch of salt. Apart from that this was a great read with many happy and sad moments. The love story is beautiful, set against a georgeous backdrop.
