COMANCHE

The Comanche are an American Indian tribe. Originally a roving tribe, they were early engaged in disastrous wars with the Spanish. They were always dangerous and troublesome to the colonists. They were at one time on a Texas reservation, but on being expelled became bitter enemies of the State. The Government later collected a portion on lands in the western part of Indian Territory. A part of these, the Quanhado, refused to settle down until defeated by Colonel McKenzie at McClellan's Creek in 1872.
