	The Comanche Indians - Horsemen of the Plains
		As they continued to migrate, the Comanche population increased dramatically due to the abundance of buffalo, an influx of Shoshoni members, and the kidnapping of women and children from rival tribes and Mexican settlements.
		The horse was a key element in Comanche culture, who are thought to have been the first of the Plains Indians to have horses.
		Many historians debate whether the Comanche deserve their ferocious reputation, indicating that they were only fighting for retrieval of the land they felt was theirs.

	COMANCHE MOON
		With his latest, "Comanche Moon," McMurtry attempts to unite the disparate ends of their tale, chronicling the rangers' exploits during the prime of their adult lives.
		That autumnal "Comanche moon," once a signal for brave deeds and terrible fighting, is on the wane.
		Most of all, "Comanche Moon" may leave readers with the nagging wish that they could start fresh and read the installments of this epic in order of internal chronology, rather than by publication date.

	The Commanches (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		The Comanches differed from the Apaches in that they were fully nomadic, and they would always respond to an attack with a counter-attack.
		(A Comanche moon is a full moon -- allowing night travel -- in the autumn, when the rains have returned, there is grass for the ponies, and the barns are stocked from the harvest.) A huge Comanche band raided south through Texas.
		Burdened by their horse herds, loot and captives, on the return trip the Comanches fell prey to a large Texas militia force and were destroyed in a 15-mile running fight.

	Dead Man's Walk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The two young rangers are introduced quickly and brutally to the rangering life on their first expedition, in which they are stalked by the Comanche war chief Buffalo Hump.
		After a narrow escape, the rangers return to civilization, only to quickly join an expedition to capture and annex Sante Fe, part of New Mexico (the part east of the Rio Grande) for Texas.
		McMurtry wrote a final and fourth segment to the Lonesome Dove chronicle, Comanche Moon, which describes the events of Gus and Call's lives between Dead Man's Walk and Lonesome Dove.

	McMurtry fails to live up to past glories (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Billed as the final volume of the ''Lonesome Dove'' saga, ''Comanche Moon'' was certain to beckon Larry McMurtry fans for a chance to renew acquaintances with some of their favorite characters.
		And while ''Comanche Moon,'' (Simon and Schuster, $28.50) provides plenty of zip in its first several hundred pages, it unfortunately seems to run out of gas down the stretch.
		Buffalo Hump and Kicking Wolf, a pair of proud Comanche warriors, continue to evolve, and we finally learn the reason for the searing hatred of Buffalo Hump's son, the nefarious Blue Duck, a half-breed who creates a special brand of terror for all who cross his path.

	Mars Import - Comic
		Comanche Moon is the extraordinary story of Cynthia Ann Parker, a white settler child kidnapped by a band of Comance Indians in 1836 in Texas.
		Quanah's defeat in 1873 marks the end of the Comanche nation's dominance of the Texas plains.
		But in many ways his defeat was only the beginning as his legacy as shrewd, humane and sometimes comic leader as Quanah guided his people into subjugation and a vastly different way of life on the reservation.

	"Texas Frontier Forts and Indian Campaigns"
		The Comanche were so successful in battle because they always tried to attack and retreat before their adversaries had time to react in any organized fashion.
		Though the Comanches present griped about Anglo encroachments and maintained that they couldn't survive without the buffalo of the Texas Panhandle, Medicine Lodge forced the Comanche to cede back, the Panhandle to the government and restricted them to a new reservation lying west of the 98th meridian and bounded by the Washita and Red Rivers.
		From the reservation Comanches' perspective, reservation life had been forced upon them against their wishes and, because of government chinchiness or snafus or graft, food and supplies either were of insufficient quantity and quality, were late or never arrived at all, and were manipulated by Indian agents to force acceptable behavior.

	Jack Jackson on Comanche Moon: Q&A (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Jack Jackson and the return to print of his 1979 work, Comanche Moon, are the focus for the second week in SBC’s three-week (three-interview) Reed Graphica coverage.
		Brought up as a Comanche, she became the wife of a feared Comanche warrior and gave birth to Quanah, a warrior-son who became chief of the Comanches and eventually led them in their last great battles against the relentlessly encroaching white settlers.
		Comanche Moon is one of those books, so I'm pleased that Reed has put it back in print.

	CD Baby: COMANCHE MOON: Old Dogs
		Almost 20 years ago, the song was the opening track to the Beat Farmers' first album, "Tales of the New West", and songwriter Paul Kamanski is looking back to redefine and reclaim it and other songs as his own.
		Songs he wrote in his 20s about broken dreams and growing old sound that much more poignant when he sings them in his 40s, but the real maturity has come in the band's sound, augmented with steel guitar, violin and backing vocals on several tracks.
		The result may be nostalgic for Beat Farmer fans who remember the band's version of Kamanski's "Bigger Stones" and "Hollywood Hills", and fans of Comanche Moon will recognize other songs from the band's past recordings and performances, but the new arrangements and augmented sound make the 13-song CD sound fresh.

		And when she found herself with him in the Comanche camp, she learned that kindness knew no barrier of skin.

		The full moon illuminates brightly - in Texas the effect was called a "Comanche Moon." The name came from this State's not so distant past, a time when Comanche Indians raided Texas settlements.
		San Antonio, Texas, hosts an abundance of Spanish missions of the same era and I paint one of those, Mission Conception, which is one of four in San Antonio Missions National Historical Park.
		This fine example of Spanish Colonial architecture includes Moorish and Native American Indian influences and is this country's oldest unrestored stone church, its construction completed in 1755.

	COMANCHE MOON by Larry McMurtry
		Early on, Scull's famous mount is established as an animal of unique proportions and mysterious appeal to the Comanches.
		He makes the rangers and the Army aware of the famous Comanche hideout in Palo Duro Canyon almost two decades before it was discovered, arms his characters with repeating rifles and cartridge revolvers long before they were invented, removes Texas Ranger Headquarters from Waco to Austin, and almost casually brushes the entire Civil War aside.
		Blue Duck and his motley band of renegades are still on the loose, and Quanah Parker, the "last chief of the Comanches," has yet to make a significant appearance or lead the last demonstration of Indian power against the buffalo hunters at Adobe Walls.

		COMANCHE MOON, a recently reprinted collection of three stand-alone comics from the 1970s, is the first of Jackson's great historical sagas.
		He tells the story of Cynthia Ann Parker, a white child raised by the Comanche, and her son, the warrior-chief Quanah.
		Quanah's eventual defeat as leader of a military force that dominated the Texas plains offers up several thrills, while his slow dissolution once absorbed into American Western culture proves difficult to read.

	Comanche Moon - Final Volume of the Lonesome Dove Saga - Larry McMurtry

	Comanche Moon (Lonesome Dove)
		Such is certainly the temptation when considering COMANCHE MOON, the final book written but second in the chronological saga.
		As with all McMurtry works, COMANCHE MOON is replete with some of the best and complete characters to grace the pages of the Western genre.
		Comanche Moon is the most violent book in the series, but only because McMurtry isn't holding back.

	Comanche Moon
		It had been a warmish day, and he was sweaty from his exertions with the whore--the notion that four days later he would be in a sleet storm at dusk on the Palo Duro, a storm so bad that his horse's eyelids were in danger of freezing, had never crossed his mind.
		Most pursuits of Comanche or Kiowa lasted a day or two at most--usually the Indians would stop to feast on stolen horseflesh, laying themselves open to attack.
		If there was evidence of a sizable camp of Comanches, perhaps Captain Scull could be persuaded to make camp and wait for a chance to attack.

	Amazon.com: Comanche Moon (Lonesome Dove): Books: Larry McMurtry (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		COMANCHE MOON is a delightful read, starting in the mid-1850's, when Augustus McCrae and Woodrow Call were coming into their own as newly-promoted Captains in the Texas Rangers.
		"Comanche Moon" is described as the final volume of the "Lonesome Dove" saga although chronologically it is the second of the four novels, taking place between "Dead Man's Walk" and "Lonesome Dove".
		Although any judgment must be subjective, I would rate "Comanche Moon" as at least the equal of "Streets of Laredo" and better than "Dead Man's Walk", although not so high as the magnificent "Lonesome Dove".

	Jack Jackson 1941 - 2006 \| ART and ARTIFICE
		But I think it is his serious efforts at analyzing and presenting historical subjects, particularly Texas and Native American history, that stands out as unusual and of a certain quality that is rarely attempted in the comics medium.
		Plus, this is the avenue Jackson has used to add his author's voice directly into the proceedings by way of sarcastic and ironic remarks from the mouths of some of his unnamed, minor cast.
		It adds no realism to Jackson's tale when the main historical figures in question voice 20th century slang and colloquialisms, but it lubricates this pageant of history, and it informs the readers directly what Jackson wants the reader to think is happening.

	Larry McMurtry -- Recent and Upcoming Books
		The Comanches, after one last desperate raid led by the fearsome-but-aging Buffalo Hump, are almost defeated, though Buffalo Hump's son, Blue Duck, still terrorizes the relentless flow of settlers and lawmen.
		Their journey takes them across barren deserts and raging rivers and through steep and snowy mountains, often on foot and with barely enough provisions and clothing to keep them from certain death.
		Full of adventure, hewing to the real story of the long and bitter fighting that pitted Texans against the Comanche for the control of West Texas, "Comanche Moon" takes Augustus McCrae and Woodrow Call through their adult years, as their friendship becomes an unbreakable bond between two equally proud, but very different men.

		If this wildly talented artist and scholar wasn't studying it, researching it, and re-presenting it in painstakingly drawn graphic novels and other texts, he was making it himself, launching what came to be known as underground comix with a pamphlet he produced right here in Austin.
		And sometimes he wound up doing both at once, as with Comanche Moon, his version of the life of Comanche chief Quanah Parker, which told his story from the Indian point of view for the first time.
		His graphic biography of Quanah Parker, published in 1979 under the title Comanche Moon, started Jackson in a new direction: telling true tales of Texas in graphic-novel form.
