The Last Comanche Chief: the Life and Times of Quanah Parker

The story of Cynthia Ann Parker and her son Quanah Parker is part of the Texas mystique, constituting one of the most sensational chapters in Texas and Native American history.  

Under Quanah Parker, the Quahadis became fugitives on the Staked Plains. There, beyond the effective range of the military, they continued to hunt buffalo in the traditional way while raiding settlements. As the buffalo and other food sources were depleted, and the Quahadis faced certain annihilation, Quanah and his warriors surrendered and were relocated to Indian Territory.
