The 5 Most Brutal Battles In Early Texas Ranger History

[@t.j.payeur5331]

These productions are excellent in all respects. I get the impression that American history is your profession, I know how long accurate research can take, let alone the writing and production. Keep up the great work.

[@jptrevino5414]

I wish they would make an honest and true tv show or movie on the west, especially in Texas in this time period. The natives weren’t so innocent and Texans weren’t so bad. It was rough times where brutality was paramount to victory. Humanity was a rare virtue

[@HikingForLoot]

Agreed both sides are products of their time. Comanches endured the same treatment as they gave to others early before the acquisition of the horse. Fun fact only one treaty can be claimed to be unbroken the Comanche-Meusebach Treaty in May of 1847, between the town of fredricksburg Texas and the Comanche 👍🏽. Not with the government but the settlers of the area

So, I'm from Brownwood and that cotton gin is in Fairfield County, not Brown County. Just sayin'. jejeje We had a myth of a white skinned insurgent hiding, successfully, in a tree in the present town square of "Comanche" Texas, I don't believe its true since I've never heard the myth outside my, white skinned, tribe. But it could be that since the 'red skinned' landholders didn't 'win' that one my tribe didn't recount it often enough to get it into the books. YMMV I honestly think the 'white' insurgents musta been pretty hard up to risk their lives for such a desolate land as what is presently termed central Texas.
