I can't wait till someone finally makes a movie or miniseries and Quanah Parker and the Texas Indian wars.

Read "Nine Years Among the Indians," by Herman Lehmann, to learn of how Quannah Parker was the main negotiator in ending the raiding culture of the Comanche tribe. Remember that Cynthia Parker was taken as a child during a horrific, brutal raid on her family. She witnessed the brutal murders of her family. She then became the victim of "Stockholm Syndrome" which is a psychological "gaslighting" type of conditioning where the victim comes to feel sympathetic with their captor, even their torturer when that is all there is. When I learned that Quannah Parker had been the advocate who talked his tribe into giving up the way of the warrior, I was able to see some sort of positive outcome of her sad story and that of her family.

Thank you. Good information. Quanah did indeed play an important role in the change from one way of life to another.

The War to save the buffalo

[@andrewmaccallum2367]

The tragedy of the systematic genocide of the indigenous peoples, is utterly appalling.

[@tyronewashington2933]

The ridgepole did NOT break. The store owner, shot a small 22 gun 🔫, as a wake-up.

[@texashistorylessons]

Yes indeed. The ridge pole break appears to be a rumor spread at the time.

[@larry1824]

Never thought ridgepole cracked.. otherwise great story with heroes on both sides

[@texashistorylessons]

Yes indeed. But that’s the story that was passed around apparently.

[@larry1824]

@@texashistorylessons yes for years and years.byt it was quite a fight in both sides though I think the sixguns and lever action rifles were as important to the defense as the long range buffalo guns.

Why do you have to kill the horses?..stupid waste of ammo..

Isatai had professed the white man, bullets would Not harm. Until Billy Dixon's long shot, almost a mile away. Next All tribes, Broke camp.
