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. 606 $aComanche Indians$xWars 606 $aFrontier and pioneer life$zLlano Estacado 607 $aTexas$xHistory$y1846-1950 615 0$aComanche Indians$xWars. 615 0$aFrontier and pioneer life 676 $a355/.0089/960730764 700 $aCarlson$b Paul Howard$01867991 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910959511803321 996 $aThe buffalo soldier tragedy of 1877$94475778 997 $aUNINA
