![]() ![]() What the book does is prove that the Comanche were, without a doubt, the most powerful tribe in American history. The most bold and interesting history comes from the first half of the book, up until the introduction of the Hays Rangers. ![]() The most irritating part of the book is the history of Quanah Parker himself. This book, although a fantastic, sweeping history of the Comanche, it is not a work to be discussed as academic history. And that is because it answers no questions, asks no new questions, puts forth none of its own theories, and has no one singular hypothesis. And no matter the amount of research that goes into popular history, it hardly ever seems to merit so much praise. ![]() Much the same way I will never say 'an historian'. As a historian, I will rarely give a general or popular history more than 3 stars. ![]()
