The Rise and Fall of Comanche Empire: The Epic Story of Quanah Parker and the Comanche Epic Struggle Against Western Expansion

"The rise and fall of the comanche empire" by Historian Robert Kennedy depicts the rise and fall of the comanche empire who were one of the Most powerful indian tribes in Native American history.

Among other Native American tribes such as the Apache, Osage, Cherokee, Sioux e.t.c. The Comanche were one of the most powerful Native American tribes who were recognized as an empire by scholars.

These was because:

They mastered an equestrian warrior culture unlike any tribe before.

They ruled vast territories from horseback, their empire was unmatched in size and military dominance across the Southern Plains.

They were nomadic buffalo hunters, they adapted rapidly to firearms and tactics and became skilled raiders, facing off against all colonial powers invading their homeland.

In this book, Historian Robert Kennedy took the time and research to write about their Dominance.

Chapter 1 talks about their origins
Chapter 2 about their dominance in horse and bison Chapter 3 tells about their religion in details, family, kinship, culture etc
Chapter 4 depicts about comanche resistance to colonialism
Chapter 5 - 12 talks about the compelling life histories of Quanah Parker and Cynthia Ann Parker (who was captured by the comanche and later grew to love the tribe), adobe walls and reservation, then finally the red river war and a new era.

By any measure of territorial dominance, economic influence, no indigenous nation burned brighter or left a deeper imprint on the history of North America than the once masters of the southern plains - the Comanche.

For those interested in Native American history, this remains essential grasslands reading.

Was this even written by a human being?

I'm no James A. Michener myself, but this is one of the most poorly written pieces I ever purchased. I suspect it was AI generated---it's THAT bad.
