Product Information

Finalist for the Pulitzer Prize This stunning historical account of the forty-year battle between Comanche Indians and white settlers for control of the American West was a major New York Times bestseller. In the tradition of Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, a stunningly vivid historical account of the forty-year battle between Comanche Indians and white settlers for control of the American West, centering on Quanah, the greatest Comanche chief of them all. S. C. Gwynne's Empire of the Summer Moon spans two astonishing stories. The first traces the rise and fall of the Comanches, the most powerful Indian tribe in American history. The second entails one of the most remarkable narratives ever to come out of the Old West: the epic saga of the pioneer woman Cynthia Ann Parker and her mixed-blood son Quanah, who became the last and greatest chief of the Comanches. Although readers may be more familiar with the tribal names Apache and Sioux, it was in fact the legendary fighting ability of the Comanches that determined just how and when the American West opened up. Comanche boys became adept bareback riders by age six; full Comanche braves were considered the best horsemen who ever rode. They were so masterful at war and so skillful with their arrows and lances that they stopped the northern drive of colonial Spain from Mexico and halted the French expansion westward from Louisiana. White settlers arriving in Texas from the eastern United States were surprised to find the frontier being rolled backward by Comanches incensed by the invasion of their tribal lands. So effective were the Comanches that they forced the creation of the Texas Rangers and account for the advent of the new weapon specifically designed to fight them: the six-gun. The war with the Comanches lasted four decades, in effect holding up the development of the new American nation. Gwynne's exhilarating account delivers a sweeping narrative that encompasses Spanish colonialism, the Civil War, the destruction of the buffalo herds, and the arrival of the railroads--a historical feast for anyone interested in how the United States came into being. Against this backdrop Gwynne presents the compelling drama of Cynthia Ann Parker, a lovely nine-year-old girl with cornflower-blue eyes who was kidnapped by Comanches from the far Texas frontier in 1836. She grew to love her captors and became infamous as the "White Squaw" who refused to return until her tragic capture by Texas Rangers in 1860. More famous still was her son Quanah, a warrior who was never defeated and whose guerrilla wars in the Texas Panhandle made him a legend. S. C. Gwynne's account of these events is meticulously researched, intellectually provocative, and, above all, thrillingly told. Empire of the Summer Moon announces him as a major new writer of American history.

    Riveting, visceral, brutal and enlightening.

    This book needs to be mandatory reading in history classes. In a world of revisionist history, which claims that the white people were bad and the Indians good, this book easily dispels those myths. This book details the capture, treatment and torture of other Indians and white people by the savage Comanches. Included is the horrible attack and the kidnapping, butchery and torture of the Parker family, who had settled in Texas. The author reveals that the Comanche kidnapped girls because the Comanches needed to repopulate their population because Comanche women had a high occurrence of miscarriage from horseback riding.

    Best book I have read...ever!!!

    This is historically accurate, but riveting account will make you understand what white settlers moving west were risking. It also speaks of perhaps the saddest personal story of the Old West, that of Cynthia Ann Parker, taken by Comanches as a 9 year old, losing her entire family in the Comanche raid and then having same done to her some 25 years later by whites... Get this book...You will not be disappointed!

    Well chosen words for a title of a great documented compilation of American history.

    One gets the big picture with this reading. You understand what is happening around the Comanche domain from Mexico (inlacing the Spanish conquest) to Colorado and east of the Mississippi. The Civil War and its impact on the westward migration is most intriguing. Especially well done is the interaction (friendly and aggressive of the Comanche nation and its surrounding native American tribes that lived completely around this large prairie empire. For one who has a deep respect for America's native people this is a must read. It is hard to conceive of a "Christian Nation" committing such atrocious evil on our fellow brothers and sisters. the closing pages left me with a lump in my throw and tears in my eyes. I placed it among several dozen other books I own about North American ...

    Well worth reading for historical perspective.

    It's interesting to read the 1 star reviews. They seem to be from people who are easily offended. This book is not light nighttime reading, but rather a deep dive into the practices of Indians. The Comanches and Apaches were brutal. Accept that. They are not the only people who were brutal. The only issue I see is the string of broken treaties with the U.S.Government. Now, the question is, how do we deal with the issues of 150 years ago
