Nine Years Among the Indians, 1870-1879: The Story of the Captivity and Life of a Texan Among the Indians is an account of the author's time among a tribe of Comanches in Texas. It tells how Lehmann was captured by these Native Americans in 1870 when he was just nineteen and spent nine years trying to live with them. At times difficult, it also gives great insight into western frontier life.

With only a few chapters in, this book had me hooked. I learned so much and was completely engrossed in the story of Lehmann's captivity among the Indians who lived on a reservation near present-day Fort Worth, Texas. Reading about his time among the Indians was very different from what I've read before - he often found himself at odds with them and even considered leaving but never did. In the end, he chose to stay and became friends with some of them.

Herman Lehmann was a German immigrant who lived in Texas. After his family settled down in the country, he became friends with the local Indians of the area and used their language to write a journal. This was during a time when Native Americans were still seen as savages by the American public, going from being killed at the hands of the US Army to being cast away into reservations.

Nine Years Among the Indians, 1870-1879: The Story of the Captivity and Life of a Texan Among the Indians is a narrative of Herman Lehmann's experiences as an American during his captivity among the Comanche tribe. Herman was captured in 1869 when he traveled to present day Oklahoma to purchase horses. He lived with the Indians for nearly nine years before being rescued by American troops in 1879.

Nine Years Among the Indians, 1870-1879: The Story of the Captivity and Life of a Texan Among the Indians is a memoir by Herman Lehmann who was captured by the Comanche Indians during an Indian raid in Texas.

Born in Germany and raised in Texas, Herman Lehmann was the son of a German immigrant who grew up near Galveston. He learned much about indigenous cultures while traveling through the United States and Holland, but it wasn't until he joined an international expedition that he became an expert on tribal life. With his expertise in anthropology, he later co-authored some of the first scientific articles on American Indians with his wife Anna, who accompanied him as a translator during their 1879 captivity among Native Americans.
