Book Review of Empire of the Summer Moon: Quanah Parker and the Rise and Fall of the Comanches, the Most Powerful Indian Tribe in American History

reviewed on + 19 more book reviews


I purchased this book because Quanah Parker's granddaughter, a dear friend of mine in her late 80s, had recently passed away. I wanted to know more about the ancestor whom she loved so much. I'm well-versed on most indigenous groups in the United States. But, I guess I didn't know as much about the Comanche as I thought I did. That said, it was a good book. Quanah Parker was quite the fellow. And, his granddaughter was a wonderful lady.
