1823 INDIANS 1 ed John Hunter Captivity Kickapoo Cherokee Fredonian Rebellion John Dunn Hunter was an early 19 th -century American who was taken prisoner at birth by the Kickapoo Indians. Hunter himself knew nothing of his origins and only took the name Hunter as he claimed to be a proficient hunter. He is best remembered for his role in the Fredonian Rebellion – Texas’s first attempt to secede from Mexico – and the negotiations that he conducted with Cherokee tribes. However, prior to the Rebellion, which would ultimately cause his death, Hunter wrote a bibliographic sketch of his life among the Indians and the various tribes he encountered while in Missouri, Arkansas, and Texas. Per Wagner Camp: “His account of life among the Kansas and Osage Indians and his experiences on the prairies sound entirely credible.” Item number: #25665 Price: $499 HUNTER, John Dunn Memoirs of a captivity among the Indians of North America, from childhood to the age of nineteen London: Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme, Brown & Green, 1823.
