About this ebook

At the end of the Red River War, any lingering vestige of the fierce Indian hegemony over the Southern Plains was completely crushed and the tribes of native people were now restricted to government-controlled reservations in Oklahoma Territory. The abrupt change left vacant thousands of acres of unclaimed land which the frontier settlers of Texas and other states began to move into and claim as their own. Old customs die hard, however, and for the next few years of transition, there were still echoes of the old ways reverberating across the land.

Harold Brannan

Harold Brannan is a retired radiologist living in San Antonio, Texas. He grew up on the storied Llano Estacado of the Texas Panhandle and the canyon lands along its eastern escarpment, an area formerly known as the center of the Comancheria. As a boy living in the cowboy culture of the West, he learned first hand of the nature of virgin prairie, playa lakes and arid plains of the Panhandle of Texas. Early in life he became enthralled by the nomads that occupied these lands before him and has spent sixty years tracing the history, artifacts and lore of these people.
