There was a show on the History channel about the Comanche. This was years ago when they actually did shows about history, rather than 4 straight hours in a pawn shop.
This was a 2 hour show and it featured Fehrenbach, had him on for 15 or 20 minutes, he was an interesting interview. I remember he talked about the "last stand" up in a canyon in N. Texas or maybe Colorado, in the 1870s, hundreds of Comanche were hiding in there, the Army came in there and annihilated hundreds of horses in the Comanche herd, they figured "No horse, no Comanche."
They were talking about Palo Duro Canyon, in the TX Panhandle Region. And Quanah Parker’s Band of Comanches. it’s just south of Amarillo.
Everything for them revolved around the horse, they would even eat them when they had to.
Even? That's how "dogs" came to be. What other creature would follow another animal around for scraps, waiting to be eaton?
Hell Pat I'm sure I've eaten dog and cat when I've bought street tamales, it's all good when you're hungry.
