	Comanche - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The emergence of the Comanche around the turn of the eighteenth century and their subsequent migration southward brought them into conflict with the Apaches, who already lived in the region and themselves began migrating to Spanish-dominated Texas and New Mexico.
		Comanche raids into Mexico were a yearly event for many decades, with the warriors seeking weapons, cattle, horses, mules, women, goods and slaves.
		In 1892 the government negotiated the Jerome Agreement, with the Comanches, Kiowas, and Apaches, further reducing their reservation to 480,000 acres (1,940 km²) at a cost of $1.25 per acre ($308.88/km²), with an allotment of 160 acres (0.6 km²) per person per tribe to be held in trust.

	Comanche-Part One
		Comanches are believed to have been the first native people on the plains to utilize the horse extensively, and as such, they were the source for other plains tribes of the horses that made the buffalo culture possible, even their enemies.
		Comanche raids were legendary for the distance covered and could strike hundreds of miles from their starting point.
		Comanche avoided using the name of the dead, but often names of people with great puha were passed to a new generation leading to several persons with the same name.

	Comanche - Crystalinks
		Today, the Comanche Nation consists of approximately 10,000 members, about half of whom live in Oklahoma (centred at Lawton), with the remainder concentrated in Texas, California, and New Mexico.
		Quanah was the son of Chief Peta Nocone and Cynthia Ann Parker, a white woman captured by the Comanches as a child.
		The Comanche did not fear death, but death worried them, and they often broke camp after a burial to get away from the place of death.There was little mourning for the old people who died, but intense mourning for a young man who died.

	GameSpy.com - Preview: Comanche 4 (PC)
		It would be easy to predict that the new Comanche is will be very similar to the previous one, but there are several improvements that look to improve Comanche 4's sense of immersion and make it the best Comanche yet.
		Comanche 4 preserves the tried NovaLogic format, pitting the player against hundreds of adversaries across dozens of single missions and campaigns of the solitaire play mode.
		The Comanche's cannon is truly a stick of doom and can destroy almost anything, and most of the weapons systems will work perfectly if employed properly.

		The war in Afghanistan clearly requires ground forces that are readily deployable, tactically mobile, highly lethal and survivable, but with a reduced logistics footprint.
		Comanche will carry remarkable firepower: a three-barrel, 20mm mini-gun mounted on a nose turret; a fully retractable missile armament system that will enable the helicopter to carry offensive weapons without compromising its stealthy shape; and internal and external carriages that allow Comanche to enter combat with up to 14 "fire-and-forget" Hellfire anti-tank missiles.
		The RAH-66 Comanche may be the bridge between the first-generation FCS based on advanced versions of the IAV and the development of a future, truly evolutionary FCS.

	Comanche-Part Two
		The level of horse thefts by Comanches bothered the Spanish, but was bearable, and the trade with Comanches for buffalo robes and slaves was important for the New Mexican economy.
		Comanche and Wichita warriors massacred the priests, burned the mission, and attacked the presidio.
		Comanche war parties usually found easy victims in Texas, and when Americans began to settle there after 1821, Comanches did not distinguish between Anglo and Hispanic.

		It is a blow to Boeing, which builds the Comanche in a joint venture with Sikorsky Aircraft in Bridgeport, Conn. The Bush administration has been under pressure from Congress and government watchdog groups to cancel at least one of a long list of high-priced weapons programs.
		Events and higher priorities overtook the RAH-66 Comanche, a program that had its beginnings 21 years ago when the Soviet threat was foremost on the minds of Pentagon planners.
		Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan put tremendous pressure on the Pentagon budget and highlighted the vulnerability of helicopters to small arms and shoulder-fired missiles.

	Boston.com / News / Nation / Army terminates Comanche copter
		The termination -- expected to affect at least 1,300 jobs in five states, including an estimated 600 at Sikorsky Aircraft in Connecticut -- marks the second major Army procurement to be eliminated in as many years and one of the largest weapons systems to be canceled.
		And the Army acknowledges that the helicopters used by the National Guard and Army Reserve are being utilized nearly as much as the active forces, but are less equipped with armor and avionics to operate in hostile environments.
		For example, with the $14.6 billion that was to be spent to purchase 121 Comanches between now and 2011, the Army will be able to upgrade 801 helicopters and purchase 903 new ones.

	Table of Contents and Excerpt, Meadows, The Comanche Code Talkers of World War II
		The Comanche Code Talkers were a small group of Comanche men who were specially recruited and trained in communications skills and used their native Comanche language to communicate critical messages during World War II.
		In prereservation times, the Comanches are better viewed as a number of linguistically and culturally related tribes (generally described as divisions), as they never comprised a single political or geographically centralized entity until after entrance onto a reservation (Kavanagh 1996).
		The Comanches represent a population whose loyalty to their people and the American country was unswerving in its devotion, and they were unhesitant in their decision to make the necessary sacrifices called for in the Second World War.

	Fort Tours \| Parker's Fort
		Her story becomes legend because she was adopted into a Comanche family, and as she matured, she assumed the role of wife to the mighty chief Peta Nocona.
		It is curious that one small captive child from a prominent local family could so win the hearts and respect of the Comanches that she would become the only wife of one great chief and the mother of his successor.
		However, the knowledge that she was a Comanche "squaw" continually fed dark racial and sexual angers across the Texas frontier.

		The next spring, Comanche pride was still stinging from the maulings they received north of the Red River when they viciously struck east of Jacksboro.
		As the fortunes of war went against the Confederates, these men had to draw straws to see who would fill the depleted ranks on the eastern battlefields.
		The appearance of a large Comanche war party caused the army to relocate its building efforts back to the south in Jacksboro.

		"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.
		McMurtry's saga stands as a considerable achievement of popular storytelling, starting strong, sagging slightly in the middle, but arriving at a resounding climax and denouement.
