Samenvatting
A.C. Greene considered The Comanche Barrier to South Plains Settlement an instant choice to be included in his book, The Fifty Best Books on Texas. The book details both sides of the tragic Council House Fight of 1840, the Battle of Adobe Walls, and the reluctance of the Comanches to accept Texas overtures to peace. Originally published in 1933, this edition includes 11,000 words that were left out of the original version.
The author tells the story of one of the most feared Indian tribes from both the perspective of the Native Americans and the Whites. This book shows the history was not one-sided, and both share responsibility for the hostility and deaths that resulted.
Of particular interest is the chapter on the famous Adobe Walls battle. It tells the story from the Comanche side of the battle and explains the fascinating background, especially the role of Isatai, the young Comanche medicine man and prophet who, convincing the leaders of his magic and visions, created the one final effort on the part of several tribes to reclaim their buffalo hunting grounds.
