Empire of the Summer Moon
 

By S.C. Gwynne.

He takes an unblinking, non-romantic view of the Plains Indians from their early interactions with the Spanish to their last days before the reservation years.

The Comanches (the various tribes and units that made up the loose confederation of the Comanche Nation) were some bad dudes.

He also takes a very even handed view of the Indian Wars.

I plan on stopping in Cache, OK next week to see Quanah Parker's Star House.

thx - will read

the Lakota wiped out a lot of Indian Tribes/Bands as they made their own "Westward Expansion" - but they have great PR

my view of history is everybody kills everybody else
