Description
Clipping reads, "Baldwin Parker, unofficial chief of the Comanche Indians in Oklahoma, inspecting the cabin in which his famous grandmother, Cynthia Ann Parker, lived for a time when she was recaptured by the Sul Ross party in 1860. With Parker are his wife [Nora] and granddaughter, Cynthia Ann Parker III. The log cabin originally stood on the Parker farm east of Birdville. It is now at Shady Oak Farm, Lake Worth." The cabin, built in about 1848, belonged to Isaac Parker, uncle to Cynthia Ann Parker. The cabin originally stood on the Parker farm east of Birdville until it was moved in 1927 to Shady Oak Farm near Lake Worth by Amon G. Carter. Upon Carter’s death in 1955, it was gifted and moved to Fort Worth's Log Cabin Village.
