For a class I'm preparing on High Plains history, I needed an additional reference for the Comanche who were lords of the Llano Estacado for almost 200 years. I found not one, but three, references on Amazon, available at a great price if I bought all three in a package, which I did, and they were delivered, two working days later. I continue to be astounded, and grateful in this particular case, because the information I received added so much more to the course!

5.0 out of 5 stars a treasury of information
Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2012

This book commands the reader's full attention. Firstly because the sheer volume of scholarly detail in this treasure trove of facts, but more because of the intelligent view taken of it and the links Dr Tom makes between events on the ground and social/political patterns in the history of an exceptional people.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very, very well researched. A lot of information ...
Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2016
Verified Purchase
Very, very well researched. A lot of information that I have not read in other Comanche books, especially 18th century information. However, it reads as if he is writing a dissertation trying to impress some ivy leaguers. Kavanagh also appears to go out of his way to thoroughly explain all of the white man's foibles, yet seems to always have some kind of disclaimer for the Comanches behavior - a little revisionistic. All in all - a very good(dry) book.
