| From an email message to Barb Landis:
Taawayite, Comanche.( Name may have been spelled otherways) I am
trying to gather info on Taawayite a student that attended Carlisle.
He was a Comanche captured in the west and imprisoned at Fort Marion in
St Augustine Fl. Spent some time at Hampton Industrial school. Then moved
on to Carlisle in 1881 arriving with Rev.Wicks. He then left Carlisle
in 1881 to go to Oklahoma. Would like to hear from anyone that can instruct
me on where to obtain info on him. NOTE He used the name of Henry Pratt
for awhile as he was fond of Capt
Regards
