Very good seller and dealer. He promptly refunded me and sold the item affordably. I disagree with the negative reviews. My package came on time, on schedule and complete. The sellers are very polite and nice to me. They deserve more business. The buyers complaining seem like its a buyer issue not the sellers. Would do business with again.

    Riveting, visceral, brutal and enlightening.

    This book needs to be mandatory reading in history classes. In a world of revisionist history, which claims that the white people were bad and the Indians good, this book easily dispels those myths. This book details the capture, treatment and torture of other Indians and white people by the savage Comanches. Included is the horrible attack and the kidnapping, butchery and torture of the Parker family, who had settled in Texas. The author reveals that the Comanche kidnapped girls because the Comanches needed to repopulate their population because Comanche women had a high occurrence of miscarriage from horseback riding.

    Book Information

    This book has a lot of history and I found a lot of the history and fact new to me, however the book was extremely hard to follow and I had to retrace previously read material to follow and even then parts were hard to connect to the thought being discussed. The dialog jumped from one time to another, as much as 200 years, within a couple of pages. There are far too many tribes and Indian groups to try to follow. In my opinion there was fat too much rambling back and forth in about the first third to half of the book. I usually read a book a week, this one took almost three weeks. The historical information could have been covered in a more comprehensive dialog in a third of the book.

  • Best book I have read...ever!!!

    This is historically accurate, but riveting account will make you understand what white settlers moving west were risking. It also speaks of perhaps the saddest personal story of the Old West, that of Cynthia Ann Parker, taken by Comanches as a 9 year old, losing her entire family in the Comanche raid and then having same done to her some 25 years later by whites... Get this book...You will not be disappointed!

  • Well chosen words for a title of a great documented compilation of American history.

    One gets the big picture with this reading. You understand what is happening around the Comanche domain from Mexico (inlacing the Spanish conquest) to Colorado and east of the Mississippi. The Civil War and its impact on the westward migration is most intriguing. Especially well done is the interaction (friendly and aggressive of the Comanche nation and its surrounding native American tribes that lived completely around this large prairie empire. For one who has a deep respect for America's native people this is a must read. It is hard to conceive of a "Christian Nation" committing such atrocious evil on our fellow brothers and sisters. the closing pages left me with a lump in my throw and tears in my eyes. I placed it among several dozen other books I own about North American ...
