About This Book

In the tradition of *Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee*, this book is a stunningly vivid historical account of the forty-year battle between Comanche Indians and white settlers for control of the American West, centering on Quanah, the greatest Comanche chief. The narrative spans two stories: the rise and fall of the Comanches, and the saga of pioneer woman Cynthia Ann Parker and her mixed-blood son Quanah. It explores the legendary fighting ability of the Comanches, their influence on the opening of the American West, and the gripping story of capture, love, and war.
