4. I first picked up a book called "Ride the Wind" about a girl captured in Texas

She also stayed and married the guy who captured her. He first gave her to a woman who had lost a child, after she grew up she ended up liking the guy she at first hated. Her Brother was captured at the same time she was, but went with a different band of Indians. She would see him from time to time. Her son ended up being the last Cherokee War Chief, who after all the buffalo were killed, finally went to a reservation. Don't recall their names right now, but enjoyed the book, and when I heard about the Jemison story I ordered a used copy. She was captured further East, before the War with the British for Independence. I recommend both books.
