On May 7, 1847, John O. Meusebach, a German settler and founder of Fredericksburg, and the Penatuka Comanche chief Santanna shared a peace pipe at the signing of a treaty between the People of Fredericksburg and the Comanche Nation. The standing Comanche represented more than twenty other chiefs who also participated in the treaty. This treaty is the only known peace treaty with Native Americans in United States history thought never to have been broken, and its spirit continues in Fredericksburg today.
