Published by The Arthur H. Clark Company; 1933 first edition. Details: "Thoroughly researched and well-written, Dr. Richardson's classic account of the conflict on the southern Plains between Anglo-American encroachment and Comanche resistance. "...The book has long been considered a classic in frontier literature.""When as a young academic, Rupert Richardson wrote the definitive work on Comanche Indians in the Texas South Plans, his primary sources included Comanche Indians themselves. It was published in 1933. Still alive were Comanches, their champions (few) and victims (many). Countless excellent modern books about the Comanches have been written. The writers did their work in "Rupe's" shadow.""The Comanche were one of the fiercest groups of Native Americans. Once they acquired horses they truly became the lords of the plains, fighting Anglo-Americans, Mexicans, and Texans, raiding all the way from the Staked Plains to the Texas Gulf Coast. They slowed westward advancement in Texas and pushed the frontier back one hundred fifty miles during the American Civil War."Contains 12 illustrations/maps. A fine addition for your bookshelf!
