Empire of the Summer Moon: Quanah Parker and the Rise and Fall of the Comanches, the Most Powerful Indian Tribe in American History by S.C. Gwynne
2.0
2 STARS
"A historical account of the forty-year battle between Comanche Indians and white settlers for control of the American West, centering on Quanah, the greatest Comanche chief of them all." (From Amazon)
The book started out really well and I was intrigued but about 100 pages in I started to nod off. I finished the book mostly by skimming past the boring dense information. I did find the Parker history quite interesting but I did not get a clear sense of Quhana ironically.
