Quanah Parker

Quanah Parker was one of most eminent the chief of the Comanches Quahadie or Kwahadi. In the years 1860 and 1870, the systematic extermination of the bisons, which constituted the main resource of Comanches and played a key role in their daily life as in that of all the tribes of the large plains, the anger of the Indians caused who did not have any pity for the hunters which fell between their hands.

Quanah with the head of approximately 700 Comanches warriors and Kiowas attacked in 1874 a strengthened camp of hunters of bisons Adobe Walls. In spite of the bravery of the Indians, the superiority of the weapons of the White ruined the attack. Quanah and its men had to withdraw themselves after several attack vain and bloody.

Quanah then led its beaten warriors and their families in inaccessible Staked Plains in order to withdraw them from the keen continuations of the army. Soon the vivres started to miss and Comanches, if they did not want to die of hunger had of another choice only that to go. Quanah was thus resigned to be delivered with his to the army. It was off-set in Oklahoma.
