After Adobe Walls, several bands went to Fort Sill agency for the census and the distribution of annuities, but only Isa-nanica was allowed to stay in Fort Sill reserve, and the other chiefs had to lead their people to the Wichita agency at Anadarko; following some killings by the Kiowa, the 25th Infantry sent to garrison Anadarko with four companies of 10th Cavalry from Fort Sill. The U.S. Army was likewise instructed not to attack Indians in the Indian Territories or to permit such attacks. He, along with Santa Anna, was part of the Great Raid of 1840 which Buffalo Hump organized to take revenge for what the Comanche viewed as the "utter betrayal of their people at the Council House." But Old Owl was the first among the Comanche Chiefs to recognize that defeating the whites was unlikely. In March 1843, Houston reached agreement with the Delaware, Wichitas, and other tribes. Many had no interest in being ruled by the government of Mexico. He led many raids against the Cheyennes, the Sacs, and the Foxes.

Despite the Council House massacre and the subsequent Great Raid of 1840, Sam Houston, once again the President of the Texas Republic following the Lamar Presidency, and Buffalo Hump with other chiefs succeeded, in August 1843, in agreeing to a temporary treaty accord and a ceasefire between the Comanches, their allies, and the Texans. The only other known survivors were a 10-year-old boy saved by Sul Ross and Cynthia Parker's infant daughter, "Prairie Flower".[4].

Harper Story (2003) and One Dead Indian (2006). 133 out of the remaining 309 Tonkawas were killed in the massacre. In 1821, while colonists were still welcome, Jose Francisco Ruiz negotiated a truce with the Penatucka Comanche, the band closest to the settlements in East and Central Texas. The battle was long and drawn out almost to the point of the United States army running out of ammunition. [14] At the end of 1839 however, some of the Comanche chiefs of the Penateka band had come to believe that they could not drive the colonists completely from their homes as they had the Apache. The entry of Texas into the United States marked the beginning of the end for the Plains Indians. The Comanche were the Native American inhabitants of a large area known as Comancheria, which stretched across much of the southern Great Plains from Colorado and Kansas in the north through Oklahoma, Texas, and eastern New Mexico and into the Mexican state of Chihuahua in the south. Linnville, of which nothing remains, was located 3.5 miles northeast of present-day Port Lavaca. In November Neighbors went to the Penateka winter camp and persuaded Buffalo Hump and the far more malleable Shanaco, Ketumse and Asa-havey to go and settle in the reserve, but Yellow Wolf, who was still pressing for the recognition of a border between Texas and Comancheria, left the council, flatly refusing to go. [14] In exchange for this, the Texans would cease military action against the tribe, establish more trading posts, and recognize the boundary between Texas and Comanchera. The First Battle of Adobe Walls was a battle fought against the United States Army and the Comanche Allies of Kiowa, and the Plains Apaches. Killing Indians became government policy when President Lamar prescribed "an exterminating war" of "total extinction". She maintained that the Indians had wanted to see how high a price they could get for her and that they then planned to bring in the remaining captives one at a time.

General Augur then summoned Mackenzie to San Antonio where they held a strategy meeting. His very presence at the battle violated his parole, and the government called for his arrest; he surrendered in October 1874 and was returned to the state penitentiary. The raid in August 1840 by Penateka Comanches, led by war chief Buffalo Hump, on Victoria and the Port of Linnville, on Lavaca Bay, Texas, is said to be the largest raid by American Indians on cities in U.S. history (Texas was at the time still a republic). Lipscomb, Carol A. In the late 18th century, the Comanche were said to have stolen every horse in New Mexico. Texas became a U.S. state on the same day annexation took effect, December 29, 1845. Buffalo Hump was a Comanche War Chief who led the Great Raid of 1840 after Texan officials killed Comanche delegates during the events that unfolded during the Council House Fight. [3] The defeated Comanches (of whom only 12 bodies were recovered) seem to have viewed this fight as a great victory which did much to enhance the various chiefs prestige; if so it is unlikely that they suffered high casualties. He attracted our special attention because he had distinguished himself through great daring and bravery in expeditions against the Texas frontier which he had engaged in times past. They tied feather beds and bolts of cloth to their horses, and dragged them. [12] But the three days of looting at Linnville gave the militia and Ranger companies a chance to gather. [45] This attack on a peaceful camp, housing Indians who had signed a peace treaty with the United States, was, nonetheless, reported by Van Dorn as a "battle" with the Comanche, and to this day is chronicled by some historians as the "Battle of Wichita Mountains". The battle of Plum Creek was really a running gun battle, where the Texans attempted to kill the raiders and recover loot, and the Indians simply attempted to get away. A Comanche warrior. Their goal was to get revenge on the Texans who had killed thirty members of a delegation of Comanche Chiefs when they had been under a flag of truce for negotiations.[1]. [26] In May 1839, Lamar's administration learned of a letter in the possession of Manuel Flores, an agent of the Mexican Government, exposing plans by officials to enlist the Indians against the Texas settlers. Henry Warren was contracted to haul supplies to forts in West Texas, including Fort Richardson, Fort Griffin, and Fort Concho. The bands had as many as 45 distinct divisions. [9] The reddish-blonde haired John O. Meusebach was named El Sol Colorado (The Red Sun) by Penateka Comanche Chief Ketemoczy (Katemcy), who had encountered Meusebach and his group in the vicinity of present-day Mason. [45] Allegedly not aware that Buffalo Hump's band had recently signed a formal peace treaty with the United States, Van Dorn and his men killed eighty of the Comanches. Meusebach was called "El Sol Colorado" by the Penateka Comanches. In August 1843, a temporary treaty accord led to a ceasefire between the Comanches and their allies, and the Texians. Of these, only Castell survived. [1], Except for Neighbors, who regularly traveled safely into the Comancheria and who could offer anyone with him safe passage, other state and federal Government officials could not provide a guarantee of safe passage. The remaining period of the Republic of Texas under President Anson Jones, had the government follow Houston's policies, with the exception that Jones, like most Texas politicians, did not wish to put a boundary on the Comancheria, thus he supported those in the Legislature who derailed that provision of the treaty. [45], During this period, when settlers began to actually attack the Indians on the reservations established in Texas, federal Indian agent Robert Neighbors became hated among white Texans. Relationships between them were mutual; cowboys are permitted to go across as long as they paid a toll. Exercising a premeditated plan of violating the immunity of the peace delegation, the Texas militiamen told the chiefs it was they that would indeed be held hostage to guarantee the release of their other white captives. Richardson, Rupert N., Adrian Anderson, Cary D. Wintz & Ernest Wallace, "Texas: the Lone Star State", 9th edition, New Jersey: Prentice Hall, 0131835505.

In the 1740s, Tonkawa, Yojuanes, and others settled along the San Gabriel River. But under the terms of Texas' accession to the Union, the new state retained control of its public lands. The Comanche, however, had learned from Plum Creek and had no intention of massing again for the militia to use cannon and massed rifle fire on them. Santa Anna joined forces with Buffalo Hump and most likely took part in the Battle of Plum Creek and the Great Raid of 1840. [9] Buffalo Hump went on to the Commanche Reservation in 1856, but left after two years of starvation, fleeing to the Wichita Mountains where his band was attacked by U.S. troops, who forced them back on to the reservation.

When a small number of warriors managed to leave the council house, all of the Comanche began to flee. The Civil War brought incredible bloodshed and chaos to the plains. He had no resources to fight a full-scale war against the Plains Indians. Noted geologist Ferdinand von Roemer wrote a vivid and accurate account of the expedition which is still available.

Rip Fords expedition along the first part of the trail from San Antonio to El Paso, as far as the Nokoni villages,[11] Yellow Wolf and Shanaco (son of a chief killed in the Council House of San Antonio) joining him; at the Nokoni villages Buffalo Hump and Yellow Wolf entrusted their proteges to their old friend Huupi-pahati, the Nokoni chief, who brought the whites to their destination. On December 25, six companies of the 6th Cavalry and one company of the 37th Infantry, on the way from Fort Bascom (New Mexico) to the Antelope Hills, came on the Nokoni village (about 60 tipis) of Kiyou (Horseback) and Tahka ("Arrowpoint"). [2] [29] The most notable Penateka war chief Potsnakwahip ("Buffalo Hump") disagreed with this decision and did not trust Lamar or his representatives. On June 27, 1874, the allied Indian force attacked the 28 hunters and one woman encamped at Adobe Walls. Buffalo Hump (Comanche Potsnakwahip "Buffalo Bull's Back") (born c. 1800 died post 1861 / ante 1867) was a War Chief of the Penateka band of the Comanche Indians. In turn, the Comanche and eventually Apache allies launched deep raids, sending thousands and, at times, tens of thousands of warriors into Mexico; they successfully captured and enslaved thousands of Mexicans. According to books by captives of the period (such as "The Boy Captives" and "Nine Years with the Indians"), the Rangers were the only force feared by the Indians. The Texas Officials were determined to force the Comanche to release all white captives among them. The Texas Congress passed laws opening up all Indian lands to white settlement and overrode Houston's veto. Among the chiefs who did not attend were Buffalo Hump, the Comanche war chief who would lead the Great Raid of 1840 in retaliation for the killings, and the other two principal Penateka war chiefs, Yellow Wolf, his cousin and alter-ego, and Santa Anna, who sided with him in leading the raid. The Texan officials began the treaty talks with demands that were unacceptable or impossible to fulfill for the Comanches, such as the Comanche return all white captives, including the famous captive Cynthia Parker. Lamar needed an army to carry out his Indian policies, and he set out to build one, at great cost. After learning that they were being held hostage, the Comanches attempted to fight their way out of the room using arrows and knives. The Treaty was ratified in Fredericksburg two months later. The Indians saw the wagon-trains as trespassers who killed buffalo and other game the Indians needed to survive.

The "Red River War", as it was called, led to the end of the culture and way of life for the Southern Plains tribes and brought an end to the Plains tribes as a people. The United States had the resources and manpower to realistically apply a policy of "removal", and they did so. On the way back from the sea, the Comanches easily defeated three different Militia detachments under John Tomlinson, Adam Zumvalt and Ben McCulloch (all together, 125 men) near the Garcitas Creek; then, they overwhelmed another Militia company (90 men) led by Lafayette Ward, James Bird and Matthew Caldwell along the trail to the San Marcos River; finally, they were attacked by Texas Rangers (all the companies of central and western Texas, under Jack Hays and Ben McCulloch), and militia (units from Bastrop and Gonzales, respectively under Ed Burleson and Mathew Caldwell), rallied under gen.

[26] On July 15, 1839, under orders from the militia, the commissioners told the Indians that the Texans would march on their village immediately and that those willing to leave peacefully should fly a white flag. [3] During the cholera epidemic of 1848-9, most of its remaining members died, and the band split up. In spite of continuous threats of various people to take his life, Neighbors never faltered in his determination to do his duty, and carry out the law to protect the Indians. Following that truce, he was able to complete a treaty of peace and friendship, which was signed in Mexico City in December 1821. The Texans had expected the Comanches to bring several white captives as part of the agreement. The Caddos were the first to respond, and in August 1842 a treaty was reached. Although most of these early Americans were ultimately killed, executed or driven from Texas by Spanish authorities during the Green Flag Republic, the Comanche's subsequent raids deep into Mexico showed the practicality of Americans in holding the frontier.

First, the two attorneys appointed to represent the two Kiowa actually represented them, instead of participating in the kind of civics lesson which the Army had wanted. They did what no other indigenous peoples had managed, defending their homeland even expanding their homelands, in the face of the best military forces the Spanish could bring against them. He was saved because of the Comanche reverence for the mad, a reverence shared by most Native American cultures. When General Sherman decided to send the Kiowa war chiefs to Jacksboro for trial, he wanted an example made. At the same time, federal law and numerous treaties forbade incursion by state forces into the federally protected Indian Territories.

On this raid the Comanches went all the way from the plains of west Texas to the cities of Victoria and Linnville on the Texas coast. After the Great Raid and hundreds of lesser raids, with the Republic bankrupt and all of the captives either recovered or murdered by the Indians, Texans turned away from continuation of war and toward more diplomatic initiatives by electing Houston to his second presidency. Supported by popular opinion in the Republic, Lamar decided to expel the Cherokee Indians from East Texas. The day after, September 29, the Kotsoteka and Quahadi warriors attacked the military encampment, getting back the horses but not their women and children, so the Comanche prisoners were kept under guard and were transferred to Fort Concho, where they were kept prisoner through the winter. (That this included Potsnakwahip "Buffalo Hump", after the events at the Council House, showed extraordinary Comanche belief in Houston)[41] In early 1844, Buffalo Hump and other Comanche leaders, including Santa Anna and Old Owl, signed a treaty at Tehuacana Creek in which they agreed to surrender white captives in total and to cease raiding Texan settlements.
