The interesting aspect of Lehmann's story is, he wasn't a small child when he was taken captive. He was 11 years old. Yet after living 9 years as a plains Indian, he wasn't eager to return to the white man's world. He "went native" and never took both feet out of his Indian past. I get the impression from his writings that he always considered himself a Comanche who just happen to live among whites.
