This well-loved copy of “Hermanitos Comanchitos” by Enrique R. Lamadrid offers a fascinating glimpse into the complex history of captivity and cultural exchange between the Comanche and Hispanic communities of the American Southwest. Published in 2003 as part of the “Pasó Por Aquí Series on the Nuevomexicano Literary Heritage,” this scholarly work delves into the rituals and traditions surrounding the captivity and redemption of children taken by the Comanche during the 18th and 19th centuries. Lamadrid, a renowned scholar of Nuevomexicano folklore and literature, draws upon a wealth of primary sources, including captivity narratives, oral histories, and archival records, to shed light on the intricate web of cultural interactions that shaped the region’s unique heritage. Despite its well-worn condition, this volume remains a valuable resource for collectors and researchers interested in the rich tapestry of Southwestern history and the enduring legacy of cross-cultural encounters.
