That summer, some forty buffalo soldiers struck out into the Llano Estacado, pursuing a band of raiding Comanches. Several days later they were missing and presumed dead from thirst. Although most of the soldiers straggled back into camp, four died, and others faced court-martial for desertion. Here, Carlson provides insight into the interaction of soldiers, hunters, settlers, and Indians on the Staked Plains.Comanche IndiansWarsFrontier and pioneer lifeLlano EstacadoTexasHistory1846-1950Comanche IndiansWars.Frontier and pioneer life355/.0089/960730764Carlson Paul Howard1609618MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910821978303321The buffalo soldier tragedy of 18773953314UNINA
