Just an addendum; Buffalo Hump’s own cousin, Yellow Wolf was along on the Great Raid. Whereas Buffalo Hump at least attempted to negotiate with the Texians and later the US, Yellow Wolf remained
unremittingly hostile throughout.

Which might explain why it would be Yellow Wolf who it was said opposed Jack Hays along the Guadaloupe River in those famous 1844 fights.

It was always hazardous being a Comanche, even a major War Chief. Yellow Wolf suffered a fatal encounter with a hunting party of Lipan Apaches in 1854.
