Juan and Juanita

Boston and New York, Houghton, Mifflin, 1887

"This story of two unfortunate fortunates … is true in its essential facts. That is, two Mexican children were really captured some years since on the other side of the Rio Grande by the Indians, and carried off to the Llanos Estacados. After four years spent in captivity they made their escape, and safely accomplished the almost impossible and truly incredible feat of walking three hundred miles and more through virgin wilds …” Baylor was born in Fort Smith, Arkansas (her father was an Army officer), and the author of at least seven other novels. She lived most of her later life in Winchester, Virginia.

Frances Courtenay Baylor, 1848-1920
