Satank attempted escape and was killed while traveling to Fort Richardson for trial: he began singing his death song and managed to wrestle a rifle from one of his guards; he was shot to death before he could manage to fire. <. [58], Another well-documented attack happened in the spring of 1867. Houston was elected to his second term in large part because of the failure of Lamar's Indian policies.[12]. The treaty opened more than 3,000,000 acres (12,000km2) of land to settlement by the Society. He later found that he had waded ashore to face nearly a thousand Indians with an unloaded pistol.[11]. The original Meusebach-Comanche treaty document was returned to Texas from Germany in 1970 by Mrs. Irene Marschall King, the granddaughter of John Meusebach. It remains the only treaty made between the Plains Tribe and settlers as private parties. After the Great Raid and hundreds of lesser raids, with the Republic bankrupt and all of the captives either recovered or murdered by the Indians, Texans turned away from continuation of war and toward more diplomatic initiatives by electing Houston to his second presidency. [22], Mirabeau Bonaparte Lamar, second president of the Republic of Texas, was hostile toward the natives. Although rangers had found the tracks of a gigantic war party coming out of West Texas, and were shadowing the onrushing Comanches, part of the war party broke off and attacked Victoria before the citizens could be warned. Elam, Earl H. "Anglo-American relations with the Wichita Indians in Texas, 1822-1859." [19] He negotiated a treaty with the Cherokee and other tribes on February 23, 1836, in Chief Bowles' village. The Republic of Texas era with the Indians can be divided into three phases: the diplomacy of President Sam Houston during his first term, the hostility of President Mirabeau B. Lamar, and the resumed diplomatic efforts of Houston's second term. Eventually these tensions resulted in the Texas Revolution.[13]. The official version is that Sul Ross and his forces managed to catch the Quahadi Band of the Comanche by surprise and wiped them out, including their leader Peta Nocona. The Antelope Hills expedition was a campaign led by the federal 2nd Cavalry against the Comanche and Kiowa tribes in Comancheria. In 1829, when Mexico abolished slavery throughout Mexico, the immigrants from the U.S. were exempted in some colonies or actively evaded governmental efforts to enforce this abolition in the territory. He described the three Penateka Comanche chiefs as 'serene and dignified,' characterizing Old Owl as 'the political chief' and Santa Anna as an affable and lively-looking 'war chief'. [2] The Indian population was not high enough, however, to restore control over all of the Comancheria.[2]. The day after, September 29, the Kotsoteka and Quahadi warriors attacked the military encampment, getting back the horses but not their women and children, so the Comanche prisoners were kept under guard and were transferred to Fort Concho, where they were kept prisoner through the winter. Comanches, The Destruction of a People. Houston then expanded it to all tribes except the Comanche, who still wanted permanent war. Overview. This area extended from southwestern Oklahoma across the Texas Panhandle into New Mexico. The campgrounds in question were reported to be somewhere on the south side of the Canadian River. All were relative newcomers to Texas; Europeans began permanently settling in Texas around the Rio Grande and upwards toward modern-day San Antonio and El Paso starting in the late 17th century; they reached Nacogdoches area around 1721. [64] Mackenzie's stratagem worked, for shortly after the battle Mow-way and Parra-ocoom moved their bands to the vicinity of the Wichita Agency. The Texans thought they were going against their word, because the Comanche chiefs did not return all of the white captives and figured they held back some of their white captives to guarantee their own safety. Their territory, the Comancheria, was the most powerful entity and persistently hostile to the Spanish, the Mexicans, the Texans, and finally the Americans. After killing Watts, the Comanche captured his wife of only three weeks, the former Juliet Constance, and a black woman and child. At the meeting the chiefs explained they had brought in all of the captives their bands had: one, a girl sixteen years old (the young Mathilda Lockhart). Since federal Indian agents in Texas knew that Indian land rights were the key to peace on the frontier, no peace could be possible with the uncooperative attitude of Texas officials on the question of Indian homelands. Pages in category "Battles involving the Comanche" The following 40 pages are in this category, out of 40 total. Linnville was the second largest port in Texas at that time. The Akokisa, Atakapa, Karankawa, and Tamique lived along the Gulf coast. Had the defenders been asleep, as the attackers hoped, they would have been overrun at once and all killed. The Fort Parker massacre was a raid conducted by a coalition of tribes including the Comanches, Kiowas, Caddos and Wichitas. [46] And though it was understated, the Comanche learned to use single-shot firearms quite well, though they found bows superior in terms of rate of rate. On November 12 Carson's force, supplied with two mountain howitzers under the command of Lt. George H. Pettis, twenty-seven wagons, an ambulance, and forty-five days' rations, proceeded down the Canadian River into the Texas Panhandle. "The "Battle" at Pease River and the Question of Reliable Sources." [15] As early as 1823, Austin recognized the need to have specific forces designated to fight the Plains tribes, especially the Comanche. After the Civil War, Texas' growing cattle industry managed to regain much of its economy. The Penateka also requested that a representative of the German colonists serve as an in-house intermediary and live among them. Their original migration took them to the southern Great Plains, into a span of territory extending from the Arkansas River to Central Texas. During the summer of 1874, the Army launched a campaign to remove the Comanche, Kiowa, Kiowa Apache, the Southern band of the Cheyenne, and Arapaho Indian tribes from the Southern Plains. Often it was common practice to have the child baptized and then adopt them into their homes, where they were raised to be servants. At sunrise on May 12, 1858, [1] Ford and his joint force of Rangers and Tonkawa began an all-day battle with a dawn attack on a sleeping Comanche village. [6], This land was earmarked for the settlement of immigrants who arrived in Texas under the sponsorship of the Society for the Protection of German Immigrants. After her daughter died from influenza, she starved herself to death when her guardians would not allow her to return to the Comanche to attempt to find her lost sons. The Comanche were the Native American inhabitants of a large area known as Comancheria, which stretched across much of the southern Great Plains from Colorado and Kansas in the north through Oklahoma, Texas, and eastern New Mexico and into the Mexican state of Chihuahua in the south. [13] This domain extended south from the Arkansas River across central Texas to the vicinity of San Antonio, including the entire Edwards Plateau west to the Pecos River and then north again following the foothills of the Rocky Mountains to the Arkansas River. [14] The reasoning behind the order was that many native tribes, such as the Cherokee, were engaged in farming and living as peaceful settlers. [12] Continuous raids on this by horse thieves and squatters, coupled with his band's unhappiness over their lack of freedom and the poor food provided on the reservation, persuaded Potsnakwahip to move his band off the reservation in 1858. 1952. Texas Tech University, 1967. At first the practice involved primarily Apaches, and eventually Comanche children were likewise adopted as servants.[11]. However, the majority of past negotiations concerning the return of hostages were never honored by the Comanche who obtained concessions but did not return the hostages or dragged out indefinitely the return of them. He attracted our special attention because he had distinguished himself through great daring and bravery in expeditions against the Texas frontier which he had engaged in times past. Meusebach raised a private mounted company including well-armed Germans and Mexicans, to protect American surveyors, who subsequently set out from Fredericksburg on January 22, 1847. By the early 19th century, as a result of the Comanche wars, the Mexican wars of Independence, and the collapse of colonial power, Mexican resistance to Comanche attacks had almost collapsed. In all other new states, the federal government controlled both public lands and Indian affairs and so could make treaties guaranteeing reservations for various groups. He assured the Texians that he felt the other captives would be able to be ransomed, but it would be in exchange for a great deal of supplies, including ammunition and blankets. He was born about 1800, probably in Kansas, and killed June 8, 1871. [68][69] The Yamparika and Nokoni, joined the Quahadi and Kotsoteka, camping at Chinaberry Trees, Palo Duro Canyon. University of North Texas, 2008. It was the last great attempt to defend the Plains by the Indians, and the difference in weapons was simply too great to overcome.[67]. Mackenzie, in the most daring and decisive battle of the campaign, destroyed five Indian villages on September 28, 1874, in Palo Duro Canyon. Like most Comanche Chiefs, Old Owl came to white attention following the Council House Fight. [19], One of Houston's first acts as president of the republic was to send the treaty to be ratified by the Texas Senate. [46], The relationship between the federal government, Texas and the native tribes was further complicated by a unique legal issue which arose as a result of Texas' annexation. Austin created the first Rangers by hiring 10 men; they were paid to fight Indians and protect the colonial settlements. [8] In May 1847 Pahayuca, Mupitsukup, Buffalo Hump and Santa Anna again met Neighbors and learned that that the U.S. Senate had suppressed the article of Council Springs treaty which forbade settlers from encroaching into the Comancheria. [44] One of the primary motivations for annexation on the Republic of Texas side was that the republic had incurred huge debts which the United States agreed to assume upon annexation. The Texans had concealed heavily armed soldiers just outside the Council House and at the onset of the fighting the windows and doors were opened and the soldiers outside shot into the room at the Comanche ambassadors and their people. They were arrested at Fort Sill, and Sherman ordered their trial, making them the first Native American Leaders to be tried for raids in a U.S. Fehrenbach believes the union came from the necessity to protect their hunting grounds from settler incursions.

Yellow copper rings decorated his arms and a string of beads hung from his neck. The Cordova Rebellion was an example of Houston's ability to quash it without much bloodshed or wide unrest[21] When Houston left office, the Texans were at peace with the Indians, but many captives were still held by the tribe's bands. The influence of Teotihuacan in northern Mexico peaked around AD 500 and declined over the 8th to 10th centuries.[5]. In 1838 Buffalo Hump, now an important war chief, placed Yellow Wolf in charge of the Penateka warriors and went with Amorous Man and Old Owl, to Houston, where they met President Sam Houston and signed a treaty with him. On December 19, 1860, Sul Ross led the attack on the Comanche village and according to Ross's report, "killed twelve of the Comanches and captured three: a woman who turned out to be Cynthia Ann Parker, her daughter Topsannah (Prairie Flower), and a young boy whom Ross brought to Waco and named Pease RossThe whole incident lasted twenty minutes-thirty at the most."[11]. [32] Lockhart had informed them that she had seen 15 other prisoners at the Comanche's principal camp several days before. [34], Armed citizens joined the battle, but claiming they could not differentiate between warriors and women and children since all of the Comanche were fighting, they shot at all the Comanche. At the time of the Texas Revolution, there were 30,000 Anglo nomadic colonists and Mexican mestizos in Texas, and approximately 20,000 Comanches, plus thousands each of Cherokee, Shawnee, Coushatta, and a dozen other tribes. In the ruins of Presidio San Sab, they found etched the names of previous mineral speculators, including that of Jim Bowie who had been there in 1829. Roemer characterizes Buffalo Hump vividly as:[15]. The Republic of Texas, which was largely settled by Anglo-Americans, was a threat to the indigenous people of the region. The raid in August 1840 by Penateka Comanches, led by war chief Buffalo Hump, on Victoria and the Port of Linnville, on Lavaca Bay, Texas, is said to be the largest raid by American Indians on cities in U.S. history (Texas was at the time still a republic). At least one Texian spectator was killed. The Tonkawa are a confederacy of tribes indigenous to central Texas. Re: rumors of a band of Comanches and Apaches of hostile nature gathering. In 1849, Buffalo Hump escorted Robert S. Neighbors and John S. Rip Fords expedition along the first part of the trail from San Antonio to El Paso, as far as the Nokoni villages,[11] Yellow Wolf and Shanaco (son of a chief killed in the Council House of San Antonio) joining him; at the Nokoni villages Buffalo Hump and Yellow Wolf entrusted their proteges to their old friend Huupi-pahati, the Nokoni chief, who brought the whites to their destination. Mackenzie used the captives as a bargaining tool to force the off-reservation Indians back to the reservation, and to force them to free white captives. Houston did not believe that his friends among the Cherokee were involved and refused to order them arrested. The war party burned one city to the ground. Leaving Victoria August 7, 1840, the Comanches continued on toward Linnville camping the night on Placido (now Placedo) Creek on the ranch of Plcido Benavides, about twelve miles from Linnville.[9]. Marching forward to Adobe Walls, Carson dug in there about 10am, using one corner of the ruins for a hospital. [57] One dire case happened to a black cowboy named Britton Johnson in 1864. She maintained that the Indians had wanted to see how high a price they could get for her and that they then planned to bring in the remaining captives one at a time. By 1823 war raged the entire length of the Rio Grande. As far as Deets goes, he says in "Lonesome Dove" that he came to Texas from Louisanna. Buffalo Hump was determined to do more than merely complain about what the Comanches viewed as a bitter betrayal; in the summer he called a council, spreading word to the other bands of Comanches that he, Yellow Wolf and Santa Anna were going for a great raid against the white settlements in Texas as a revenge; in the meanwhile, Buffalo Hump, Yellow Wolf, Santa Anna and Isimanica, with 400 warriors, were raiding the settlements between Bastrop and San Antonio, exhausting the Rangers and Militias detachments. Colonial authorities did not encourage colonization in this area, as it was too far from their bases. But under the terms of Texas' accession to the Union, the new state retained control of its public lands. [13] The militia concentrated on seizing and dividing the recovered bullion and other plunder rather than pursue the raiding party. [45] This attack on a peaceful camp, housing Indians who had signed a peace treaty with the United States, was, nonetheless, reported by Van Dorn as a "battle" with the Comanche, and to this day is chronicled by some historians as the "Battle of Wichita Mountains". [61]:82. In regard to the settlement on the Llano the Comanche promise not to disturb or in any way molest the German colonists, on the contrary, to assist them, also to give notice if they see Indians about the settlement who come to steal horses from or in any way molest the Germans the Germans likewise promising to aid the Comanches against their enemies, should they be in danger of having their horses stolen or in any way to be injured. [6] Most other Plains Indians had already arrived by the mid-18th century. Ford considered the deaths of settlers, including women and children, during Indian raids, to open the door to make all Indians, regardless of age or sex, combatants. Colonel Mackenzie and the 4th Cavalry Regiment pursued Quanah Parker and his followers through late 1874 into 1875. The years 185658 were particularly vicious and bloody on the Texas frontier as settlers continued to expand their settlements into the Comancheria, and 1858 was marked by the first Texan incursion into the heart of the Comancheria, the so-called Antelope Hills expedition, led Ford and by marked by the Battle of Little Robe Creek. Thanks to the stubborn behaviour of Guipago, who forced the U.S. Government to agree seriously threatening a new bloody war, Satanta and Big Tree were freed after two years of imprisonment at the Huntsville State Penitentiary in Texas.[63][62]. While safe in the water, the refugees witnessed the destruction and looting of their town, unable to do a thing except curse them. Peta Nocona led the full attack on Fort Parker where Cynthia Ann Parker was taken captive and later became his wife.

The first battle of Adobe Walls occurred on November 26, 1864, in the vicinity of Adobe Walls, the ruins of William Bent's abandoned adobe trading post and saloon near the Canadian River in Hutchinson County, Texas. The Rangers had been trailing the war party for some time, unable to engage them because of their sheer numbers. 2014. Nokoni chief Horseback, who had family members among the Indian prisoners, took the initiative in persuading the Comanches to trade stolen livestock and white captives, including Clinton Smith, in exchange for their own women and children.[64]. Santa Anna died from a cholera outbreak in 1849.[4]. [16] Houston, who enjoyed a good reputation among Indians, had married a mixed-race woman of Cherokee descent. Out of this meeting, the army developed a campaign against the Comanche in their strongholds in the Staked Plains. Noted geologist Ferdinand von Roemer wrote a vivid and accurate account of the expedition which is still available. Commissioners of the Texas government demanded the return of all captives held by the Penateka. [3] The defeated Comanches (of whom only 12 bodies were recovered) seem to have viewed this fight as a great victory which did much to enhance the various chiefs prestige; if so it is unlikely that they suffered high casualties. The results of the battle are still being debated since the Rangers reported 80 Comanches were killed but only 12 bodies were found [7] The Comanches claimed to have killed 11 Texas Rangers. The first was the attack on the sleeping village. While they are on this mission, Comanche chief Buffalo Hump takes his warriors on the warpath. The Comanche detested the Tonkawa, in particular, for allegedly being cannibals. Most of the loot they took was recovered, and the Texans involved in the battle suffered only one death. The decision of chiefs from one band of the Comanche to negotiate, as well as the offer of returning of the hostages, appears to have convinced Lamar that the Comanche tribe was ready to surrender the hostages. [14], The Tonkawa warriors with the Rangers celebrated the victory by decorating their horses with the bloody hands and feet of their Comanche victims as trophies. Appointed by Mackenzie as sole chief of the Comanches, he worked hard to bring education and the ability to survive in the white man's world to his people. This battle has become highly debated due to unreliable sources and exaggerated facts surrounding the event, but the event started in November 1860, most likely when a band of Comanche warriors, "struck farms, ranches, and outlying settlements in Parker, Young, Jack, and Palo Pinto counties west of Fort Worth. His son, Peta Nocona, became a chief himself. Approximately 170 Comanche warriors and their families led by Quohadi chief Black Horse or Tu-ukumah (unknown-ca. All the principal Comanche leaders (Quanah, Mow-way, Tababanika, Isa-rosa, Hitetetsi aka Tuwikaa-tiesuat, Kobay-oburra) were made safe. Five white men managed to escape, one of which was Thomas Brazeale[61]:80 who reached Fort Richardson on foot, some 20 miles away. In the late fall of 1864 in Young County, Texas, a war party of between 500 and 1,000 Comanche and Kiowa headed by Kotsoteka chief Kuhtsu-tiesuat ("Little Buffalo") raided the middle Brazos River country, destroying 11 farms along the Elm Creek, stealing virtually every cow, horse, and mule in the area, and besieging the citizen stronghold of Fort Murrah. The Comanche were known as fierce warriors, with a reputation for looting, burning, murdering, and kidnapping as far south as Mexico City. Prepared by Call, Maggie hides under a smokehouse and escapes their notice. However, the end result of the three battles was costly to the Comanche forces: 76 were killed and over 60 were captured by the Texas Rangers. Joined by Ranger companies and armed settlers hastily assembled as militia from central and east Texas, they confronted the Indians at Good's Crossing on Plum Creek, near the modern town of Lockhart (about 27 miles south of Austin). [17] Fredericksburg borders on the grant, but does not fall within the grant itself. His very presence at the battle violated his parole, and the government called for his arrest; he surrendered in October 1874 and was returned to the state penitentiary. In 1996 he appeared as a Comanche protagonist, Buffalo Hump, in the Larry McMurtry miniseries Dead Man's Walk. The settlement frontier quickly moved north along the Brazos, Colorado, and Guadalupe rivers, into Comanche hunting ranges and the borders of Comancheria. [59] Ranchers Charles Goodnight and Oliver Loving, together with their cowboys, attempted to drive their livestock around Comancheria in the trail now known as the GoodnightLoving Trail.

In the late 18th century, the Comanche were said to have stolen every horse in New Mexico. Under Houston's policies, Texas Rangers were authorized to punish severely any infractions by the Indians, but they were never to initiate such conflict. In 1835 Buffalo Hump and Yellow Wolf led 300 Comanche warriors in an attack against Parral, in the Sierra Madre Occidental (Chihuahua). Mirabeau Lamar had a harsher policy towards Native Americans in Texas and signed two bills which escalated tensions in the region. This page was last edited on 29 January 2023, at 01:51. Under Meusebach's leadership, and with the help of Indian Agent Robert Neighbors, regular expeditions into Indian-controlled lands took place both to survey the lands the Society wished to settle, and to find and negotiate with the Penateka Comanche. Guipago, Satanta, Manyi-ten, Pa-tadal ("Poor Buffalo") and Ado'ete came in with their Kiowa braves, and the remnant companies of 10th Cavalry came too, to face 200 or 300 Nokoni Comanche and Kiowa.
