John Dunn Hunter (ca. 1796–1827), was a leader of the Fredonian Rebellion, the first attempt by Anglo settlers in Texas to secede from Mexico. Before that adventure, however, he had an interesting upbringing by Native Americans recounted in the present work.

Hunter claimed to be ignorant of his birthplace and said that he was taken prisoner with two other children by Native Americans who either belonged to or were associated with the Kickapoo nation. He lived with the Kickapoo until 1816 but travelled widely during that time and received a good education.
