In March of 1871, Ab Nystel (14) and an old man named Carl Quertod, were chopping cedar post near Chalk Mountain, when they were discovered by a Comanche raiding party. The boy was captured while Quertod escaped with an arrow in his arm. The Indians continued to raid through Bosque County before turning back toward the Northwest, where they killed an enslaved black man and captured a 14-year old girl. Several weeks later the girl escaped while the Comanches were crossing the Arkansas River. Nystel was eventually sold for $250 dollars.
