There should be absolutely no serious discussion of the morality of what our ancestors may or may not have done without including the actions of everybody else's ancestors. It's a two way street and never let anyone get away with singling out only certain people for judgement.....

My 5x great grandfather was a Texas Ranger and was killed in an indian skirmish in Young County on the Brazos River in 1841. He was buried there after the battle by his brother and nephew who were also Texas Rangers. His grave is lost to history; however he has a memorial marker at Ft Belknap Cemetery from the State of Texas commemorating his service to the Republic of Texas, which is only a mile from where he was killed. His name was Abram Trig Smith. I am a resident of Quanah Texas.

There are many ranches that are still owned by the family's of men who fought in the Texas revolution that were given land in Lew of money for their service because Texas was cash broke in 1836 but rich in land.

Quannah Parker's life in OK is another topic to explore. He leased his land out to ranchers and became quite prosperous with a nice cattle herd of his own. In the early 1900s my maternal grandfather ran cattle on ranchland south west of the Palo Duro about 50-60 miles as the crow flies. Even as late as the mid 1920s he had braves who'd "jumped" the reservation on a hunting trip come around wanting a beef. My mom, born in 1919 told of her father negotiating with small groups of starving Indians over which cattle he was willing to give them. Cowmen who didn't negotiate were liable to find beef left rotting in their pasture. My grandfather would give them two midsized steers. One to kill and butcher right away and another to drive back home for their families. He furnished a Bill of Sale, but suspected they sold the second beef. He had a very desirable breeding horse herd, so two beef steers were a better trade than losing a broodmare or two.

The rest of the William Parker family killed in a Comanche raid. My great great grandmother was married to Quannha Parker dad's youngest brother. Witch made them first cousin. Ellen was there daughter at that time the Comanche tribe was starving. So they sold children for cattle and horses. My great grandmother Ellen was sold as a half breed slave. To a wealthy cattle rancher. Witch in time they married and had 3 sons before she was 14. When he dead with her help. She became the ranch owner. The small part of the ranch is still in our family. Over by west side of Comanche tx. By the graveyard where she donated the land for a town graveyard.

Many of the places I've visited up that way I learned about from your videos. This was a fantastic collage of those stories into the great tale you told today.

My family is Chickasaw, After they settled west of the Choctaw, just east of the Cross Timbers, they had to endure Comanche raids. Famous in previous generations as warriors--one of my ancestors was a captain leading the Chickasaw fighting with the Americans at Fallen Timbers-- these farmers had to pick up rifles and learn how to fight again as rangers.

I was born and raised in the Panhandle. My grandfather and his family crossed the Llano Estacado in an oxen pulled wagon at the end of the last century. In many ways, remnants of the family haven’t left even until this day. As a young man, I was allowed by a very generous rancher to both help on roundups and backpack in his slice of the Palo Duro Canyon. I wish I could do justice with words to the majesty of the land I came know. Your videos have brought back so many wonderful memories. Although I’m not there physically, these stories brought me back to that patch of land that is so rough, only God could love. And He must have loved it. He made so damned much of it!

It was nothing like the developed cities of Europe they were accustomed to, and they had zero survival skills. Hard to believe so many even survived those times.

The sign asked the English-speaking locals to please not ride their horses at full gallop over this bridge. The same sign advised Spanish-speaking individuals that galloping on horseback across the bridge would entire enot be tolerated, (no penalty specified). The same sign advised German-speakers that anyone galloping a horse across the bridge would be shot on the spot. The point of this author was actually trying to convey how different cultures convey their taboos or trespasses.

The history of the human race is just one long story of people taking over from others. That is what men did and if you look to the east and Ukraine, you will see Russians trying to do the same today.

I had to move backwards several seconds to 17:57 to find 'a house.' The voice over was discussing 'MacKenzie was stationed at Fort Concho. ' I am a living historian in this area so I've been to several of the forts mentioned in this presentation. 1. That house is NOT at Fort Concho, and the pristine block masonry of that building is NOT from this era. Our area had some remarkable masons in that time frame, in that, most of the rock/stone buildings built at that time, and in the decades afterwards , are still in use. The wood inside had to be replaced, but the rock walls on the outside are still solid. Wood was scarce but rock and stone was plentiful. Fort Concho is one of the best preserved Westward Expansion forts in the nation. You can see numerous structures with masonry of the late 1800s at their site. 2. From what I can see, the house you are curious about appears to be in the style of officer quarters of that time: a breeze way down the middle of the structure with rooms on either side of the breeze way. Large sweeping covered porches surrounding the structure and exertior rock walls that are literally 12 inches thick. All of that was to combat the extreme heat in this part of Texas. 3. I don't know where this house is located. It's not at Fort Concho, nor Phantom Hill, nor Fort Griffin, nor Fort MacKavett- where Ranald MacKenzie rebuilt much of the fort with Buffalo Soldiers. Since the house is in a valley with mountains on both sides, I'm guessing... really guessing, this house is in the Texas Hill Country. I'm thinking the Fredericksburg, Tx area, but it's not at Fort Martin Scott, either.

At about 1:30, did you really mean "prolific marksmen" or perhaps "proficient" marksmen? At about 3:05, you state that the Comanche were "originally from Wyoming." Are you sure that they weren't from Idaho? Was the symbol for them in the universal sign language of the plains tribes a slithering snake because they were from the Snake River area of Idaho? At about 3:55, you state that the Apache were "pushed out of West Texas by the Comanche." But, wasn't that simply a continuation of the push that started in Nebraska and Kansas and continued through West Texas? And, didn't the Apache continue to dominate Texas west of the Pecos? I really enjoyed your discussion on the history of the Texas Rangers, development of Colt pistols, and relationship of the Tonkawa with Texans.

They killed his stepdad as part of the Sutton-Taylor feud, deadliest Texas feud with 118 deaths. I believe it was larger than the Hatfield-McCoy feud.
