Not much, but a start. I'll work on it as time permits, or of course, feel free to help. (Texan Traveler 04:26, 12 June 2006 (UTC))

Wrong Fort Parker
The link to Fort Parker points to an entirely different Fort Parker, an Army fort in Montana. --Davecampbell 19:45, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Restoring conclusion
I restored the conclusion which had been edited out of the article. The fact a pregnant 17 year old girl was able to survive for 2 years among the fierce Comanches remains an amazing feat. Her book is a timeless look inside a culture long destroyed, and the end section is a vital part of the article. John1951 23:37, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I am going to remove the section again. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, [|not a memorial], and we should be trying to present the text in a formal format.  The articles should also be written in neutral point of view, and this conclusionary paragraph is meant to have a point-of-view.  The facts should instead be presented in a concise format without editorializing.  Encyclopedia articles should also not have a conclusion.  Is there any information missing in the rest of the article that is in the conclusion that you feel should be included? Karanacs 01:23, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi Karanacs - I disagree with you on this, but will defer to your more experienced judgment. I felt that the article benefited from the final section, which emphasized the truly amazing feat of survival by a pregnant 17 year old girl. That is not POV, since the sources cited agreed. I don't think it is editorializing when it quotes respected historians. But again, I am not trying to have an edit war with you. I would rather work with you on improving this article, and others.
