Description: Photographs and biographical sketch of the Comanche statesman.
"The Tonkawa killed him - it make my heart hot. I want my people follow after white way. Some white people do that, too." Comanche leader; born at Cedar Lake, Texas. He was the son of a Comanche chief and Cynthia Ann Parker, a captive white woman (taken back by whites in 1860). He grew up to become a bold warrior and in 1867 was made war chief of the Kwahadi Comanche of the Staked Plains. For the next eight years he led an alliance of various tribes in raids against frontier settlements in Texas. After finally surrendering in 1875, he quickly accommodated himself to the white culture by learning Spanish and English, adopting new agricultural methods, and promoting education for his fellow Indians.
