Authoritative and immediate, this is a brilliant account of the
most powerful of the American Indian tribes. T. R. Fehrenbach
traces the Comanches' rise to power, from their prehistoric origins
to their domination of the high plains for more than a century
until their demise in the face of Anglo-American expansion. Master
horseback riders who lived in teepees and hunted bison, the
Comanches were stunning orators, disciplined warriors, and the
finest makers of arrows. They lived by a strict legal code and
worshipped within a cosmology of magic. As he portrays the Comanche
lifestyle, Fehrenbach re-creates their doomed battle against
European encroachment. While they destroyed the Spanish dream of
colonizing North America and blocked the French advance into the
Southwest, the Comanches ultimately fell before the Texas Rangers
and the U. S. Army in the great raids and battles of the
mid-nineteenth century. This is a classic American story, vividly
and poignantly told.
