Great book
Published by Christopher Hetzler , 7 months ago
This is a book I will read again.It tells of the brutal true history of that time you may have never heard about .I wanted to understand the history of how bad the native indians were treated.Unbelvable but true. It's a disgraceful part of U.S history
The good, the bad, and the ugly

I have a love/hate relationship with books that account the fall of the Native Americans. It’s a part of our nations history that I think everyone should know. But, it’s a shame all the same. The two cultures could hardly exist in harmony given the different ways ownership and property rights were viewed. That said, I enjoyed reading about Quanah and his mother.
Great book!

Thoroughly enjoyed this book! If you are the least bit interested in this part of history, you need to read this book. Highly recommended.

An engaging history
Excellence through objectivity
Published by Josh , 2 years ago
Gwynne does an excellent job in balancing the romanticism of the west and the southern horse tribes with the harsh reality that was. If you're looking for a book that perpetuates a revisionist narrative of indigenous people...look elsewhere. If you desire an objective historical view into life on the southern plains during the mid to late 19th century, this book will impress.
incredible!

The book is filled with page after page of very good information about life on the plains and the dangers of Comanches.
