Book - Empire of the Summer Moon

Post by johno »

Empire of the Summer Moon by S. C. Gwynne. This is a history of the clash between the Comanche Indians and the White Man, fought on the southern plains of the US, mostly in northern Texas.
Incredible storytelling & writing. The Comanche were the prototypical Horse Warriors, a brutal and beautiful band of nomadic badasses.
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

W.B. Yeats
