| Summary | Annotation "Los Comanches is a large, sweeping history of the Comanche Indians, who dominated the Southern Plains during the ninety-four years covered in this book. No plains people was more feared and admired for its mastery of warfare and life in the harsh arid environment of the Southern Plains. Euro- and Native Americans alike anxiously dreaded the ferocity of Comanche enmity yet avidly south the uncertainty of Comanche friendship.Stanley Noyes has woven a refreshingly human history of the Comanche. Distributed throughout the narrative are social and cultural vignettes of the horse, women, captivity, warrior culture, family life, courtship patterns, and sexual attitudes. Noyes has richly contextualized the story by drawing vivid portraits of Spanish, French, American, Apache, Osage, Wichita, and other societies the Comanche encountered during their golden century. |
