Comanche Moon Of Blanco Canyon

The 500 ft deep Blanco Canyon, in the Texas Panhandle, in October 1871, was the site of the main skirmish of Col. Ranald S. Mackenzie's campaign against the Plains Comanches, known as the Battle of Blanco Canyon. The Comanche Moon arose blood-red over Blanco Canyon. The Comanches were led by Chief Quanah Parker. This book, "Comanche Moon Of Blanco Canyon", details the true events as recorded by Lt. Robert Goldthwaite Carter. Read the exciting account and Texas history will come alive with Comanches stampeding through the army camp, the soldier's pursuit, the Comanche ambush, ascending the steep walls of Blanco Canyon and facing a "Texas blue norther" over the treeless Caprock Escarpment and the barren Llano Estacado.
