You're right, that story is repeated in several different books (I have Savage
Frontier too :) ), but it isn't the one I'm looking for. This was almost exactly
as I quoted - not someone who was attacked by Commanche or like the Commanche took scalps
but who had actually lived with Commanche for a period of time and would've been
considered a member or quasi memberof the tribe. I remember reading it and thinking
"Oh, one of the bachelor Castleman." It was just a sidelong comment in a much
longer passage about fighting the Texas Revolution that didn't include the Castlemans
at all.
I'll keep looking, thanks!
