Best-selling historian T.R. Fehrenbach offers the definitive history of an impressive tribe, from their prehistoric origins to their destruction in the mid nineteenth century. Master riders of the high plains, the Comanche were stunning orators and disciplined warriors who lived by a strict legal code and were renowned for their arrows. They famously defeated the French and Spanish colonialists before ultimately succumbing to the Anglo-American expansion. Thorough and unbiased, this book beautifully chronicles the tragic tale of a remarkable people.
