We have Frozen Head State Park. Seems a little ghoulish.

And just north of Fredericksburg, TX there is a historical site known as "Baby Head Mountain".

Seems a band of Comanches attacked a farmstead, killed the parents and kidnapped the children. When the posse went out looking for them, they made a grisly find on top of this particular mountain -- a baby's head.

So far as I know, the rest of the children were never recovered.

I’ve heard that story, too-the first time was when I went there with some friends from college. But it seems to me that it is more reasonable hat someone thought the shape of the hill resembled a head-sort of.

The Comanches and other tribes usually didn’t give kids back, even for ransom, for whatever reason-Quanah Parker’s mother was a captive settler, taken as a child.
