This powerful empire, built by the Comanche Indians, eclipsed its various European rivals in military prowess, political prestige, economic power, commercial reach, and cultural influence. Yet, until now, the Comanche empire has gone unrecognized in American history. This compelling and original book uncovers the lost story of the Comanches. It is a story that challenges the idea of indigenous peoples as victims of European expansion and offers a new model for the history of colonial expansion, colonial frontiers, and Native-European relations in North America and elsewhere. Pekka Hämäläinen shows in vivid detail how the Comanches built their unique empire and resisted European colonization, and why they fell to defeat in 1875. With extensive knowledge and deep insight, the author brings into clear relief the Comanches' remarkable impact on the trajectory of history. 410 0$aLamar series in western history. 606 $aComanche Indians$xHistory 606 $aComanche Indians$xGovernment relations 607 $aUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aMexico$xHistory$yTo 1810 615 0$aComanche Indians$xHistory. 615 0$aComanche Indians$xGovernment relations. 676 $a978.004/974572 700 $aHa?ma?la?inen$b Pekka$f1967-$01504328 712 02$aWilliam P.
