Comanche. The very word sent shivers down the backs of white settlers and other Native American tribes alike. The Comanches were feared horsemen and fighters. For years, the Comances held dominance over a vast area of the Southern Plains called Comancheria. Few dared venture into Comancheria. Even fewer returned. Who were the Comanches? Where did they come from? What was life like in a Comanche camp, for both the Comanches and their captives? What happened to break their grip on Comancheria? Find out the surprising and fascinating answers to these and other questions. -- Publisher description.
