The Comanches

This is the first in-depth historical study of Comanche social and political groups. Using the ethnohistorical method, Thomas W. Kavanagh traces the changes and continuities in Comanche politics from their earliest interactions with Europeans to their settlement on a reservation in present-day Oklahoma.

Thomas W. Kavanagh is curator of collections at the William Hammond Mathers Museum at Indiana University.
