And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Actually not true. Killers of the Flower Moon deals with murders of the Osage tribe in the early '20s in Oklahoma. There is a book and movie called Comanche Moon by Larry McMurty though fiction. Early Gus and Capt. Call.
Excellent read

DeleteJust mentioned this book in the moon post. I'm working on my 2nd time thru this. Fascinating.
ReplyDeleteVery good read. Fort Parker is a re-built historical site, a State Park near Groesbeck, TX that was originally restored by the CCC in the 30s.
ReplyDeleteThe Comanches were the trailer trash of the Indian Nation, scorned by all, feared by many.
ReplyDeleteI just purchased this book in paperback. Thanks for the heads up.
ReplyDeleteI have read a whole lotta books on a wide range of historical topics. This was absolutely one of the very best. I give it a 10 on a 10 scale.
ReplyDeleteRead this one ten or so years ago. My local library has a copy in the history reference section. Good read.

you won't look at the non-comanche Indians tribes the same after reading this.
