The battle of Adobe Walls was pretty much the beginning of the Red River War. It lasted from 1874-1875. The Comanches were finally defeated at the Battle of Palo Duro Canyon, by Col. Randall McKenzie, whom the Indians called "Bad Hand". He destroyed the Comanche's horse herd and larder and pretty much forced them onto the Reservation.
Than went on to die broke and insane. Damn shame.
