History
11
In eighteenth century Texas, the Comanches rode in as a barbed, bristling flying wedge, driving the Wichitas and Caddoes east and the Apaches west and becoming lords of the south plains. They harassed the Spanish and Anglo-Americans along the frontier from Corpus Christi on the Gulf to the Red River and carried violence as far as Zacatecas, Mexico, capturing women, children, and horses along their road of blood, tears, and agony. Many roads converged into the great Comanche war trail, which passed about 20 miles southeast of this site.
