Book • 1974
T. R.
Fehrenbach's "Comanches: The Destruction of a People" is a sweeping and controversial account of the Comanche tribe's history and their interactions with white settlers.
The book is known for its vivid descriptions of warfare and its unflinching portrayal of violence on both sides.
Fehrenbach's narrative emphasizes the Comanches' military prowess and their dominance of the Southern Plains.
However, the book has also been criticized for its sometimes romanticized portrayal of the Comanches and its lack of attention to the perspectives of other Native American tribes.
Despite these criticisms, it remains a significant work in Texas history, offering a powerful, albeit complex, narrative of conflict and cultural clash.
