Empire Of The Summer Moon Summary
Empire of the Summer Moon by S. C. Gwynne is subtitled "Quanah Parker and the Rise and Fall of the Comanches, the Most Powerful Indian Tribe in American History." Empire of the Summer Moon is the sort of history book that makes you need to surrender perusing fiction, since it's significantly more arresting than generally books. Domain of the Summer Moon begins with the Fort Parker slaughter in May of 1836, when Cynthia Ann Parker, then 9 years of age, was caught by the Comanches. After the grisly assault on the private fortress, S. C. Gwynne strays by bouncing back to give a touch of history of the Nermernuh, the Comanche name for their kin, relocating down from what is currently Wyoming, to Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico and southern

    Day of Empire by Amy Chua: An Analysis

    Amy Chua’s thesis in Day of Empire is that the biggest contributing factor of the demise of hyperpowers throughout history is the loss of tolerance by the ruling entity. She believes that when the hyperpowers begin to decline they begin to blame everything on the outsiders. Sometimes this is caused by a regime change or a ruler’s search for a scapegoat. Her theory states that this intolerance causes social unrest and rebellion by the oppressed groups.…

    The Shawnees and Their Neighbors, 1795-1870 by Stephen Warren looks into the lives of Native Americans in the Old Northwest. This time was characterized by warfare and failed compromises between the Americans and Native Americans.

    Ojibwa Warrior Review

    There must first be the understanding that there were many nations who lived in the Northern Hemisphere before it became the nations of Canada, Mexico, and the United States of America. They were known as the Cherokee, the Creek, the Algonquin, or the Chippewa. These nations were established in relative proximity of others such as the Crow, the Shoshone, and the Iroquois. Many once sovereign Indian nations had resided throughout the easternmost majority of what is now America and Canada. The expansion of European industries and the availability of natural resources that were found with North America caused forceful takeovers of Native lands and strategic genocide of many Native Nations by the rising American nation. These Native nations were forced from their lands under heavy physical pressure from the United States government and many endured weather, famine, and disease as they migrated from their homes to lands promised to them. Long before the state of North Dakota or the city of Cheyenne in Wyoming ever existed, there were the nations of the Dakota, the Sioux, the Lakota, and the Cheyenne Indians. These natives were repressed into small reservations and forced to comply with state regulated hunting and fishing practices, even if they restricted the Indians’ ability to provide sustenance for the tribe.…

    Comanche Influence On Indian Culture

    I do agree with the author that the Comanche people operated a massive empire in the American Southwest. “…Comanche’s built in the early nineteenth century a loose bit imposing empire on the southern plains and in the southwest...” (141). Although when the Comanche arrived on the South Plains, they were not a unified body. They arrived in numerous family groups. There were a lot of different Comanche bands, but there were five major bands that played the important roles in Comanche history.…

    Custer Died For Your Sins Essay

    There are two books that are particularly important for students learning about Native Americans to read, Custer Died for Your Sins by Vine Deloria and “All the Real Indians Died Off” and 20 Other Myths about Native Americans by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz and Dina Gilio-Whitaker. But before even reading the books, its vital to understand who the authors are. What their backgrounds are, who they wrote the book for and why, and arguably the most important: their authority to be writing the books. Without this knowledge, it is impossible to fully understand a book, since an author ingrains pieces of themselves into everything they write.…

    Red River War 1874

    During the summer of 1874, the U. S. Army launched a campaign to remove the Comanche, Kiowa, Southern Cheyenne, and Arapaho Indian tribes from the Southern Plains and enforce their relocation to reservations in Indian Territory. The actions of 1874 were unlike any prior attempts by the Army to pacify this area of the western frontier. The Red River War led to the end of an entire way of life for the Southern Plains tribes and brought about a new chapter in Texas history.…

    Comanche Indians

    The Comanches, exceptional horsemen who dominated the Southern Plains, played a prominent role in Texas frontier history throughout much of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Anthropological evidence indicates that they were originally a mountain tribe, a branch of the Northern Shoshones, who roamed the Great Basin region of the western United States as crudely equipped hunters and gatherers. Both cultural and linguistic similarities confirm the Comanches' Shoshone origins. The Comanche language is derived from the Uto-Aztecan linguistic family and is virtually identical to the language of the Northern Shoshones. Sometime during the late seventeenth century, the Comanches acquired horses, and that acquisition drastically altered their culture. The life of the pedestrian tribe was revolutionized as they rapidly evolved into a mounted, well-equipped, and powerful people. Their new mobility allowed them to leave their mountain home and their Shoshone neighbors and move onto the plains of eastern Colorado and western Kansas, where game was plentiful. After their arrival on the Great Plains, the Comanches began a southern migration that was encouraged by a combination of factors. By moving south, they had greater access to the mustangs of the Southwest. The warm climate and abundant buffalo were additional incentives for the southern migration. The move also facilitated the acquisition of French trade goods, including firearms, through barter with the Wichita Indians on the Red River. Pressure from more powerful and better-armed tribes to their north and east, principally the Blackfoot and Crow Indians, also encouraged their migration. A vast area of the South Plains, including much of North, Central, and West Texas, soon became Comanche country, or Comancheria. Only after their arrival on the Southern Plains did the tribe come to be known as Comanches, a name derived from the Ute word Komdnteia, meaning "enemy," or, literally, "anyone who wants…

    The Celestial Omnibus

    You can do anything you put your mind to, and with no risk comes no reward; two phrases that summarize faith and imagination, the basis of short story entitled The Celestial Omnibus. The Celestial Omnibus by E.M. Forster is about the freeing of ones soul through faith and imagination and though the combination of these the forming of reality. Though seen by some, it is not meant to be taken as a religious text at all, a boys imagination is tested,but not just tested, tested by faith. The story unfolds with a young boy's curiosity of a street sigh near his house pointing towards a dead end alley stating "To Heaven". The boy is teased by his mother and father for his curiosity in a street sign located so closely to his house that points up a dead in alley. His parents tell the street sign was placed there as a joke and had no real meaning. The boy lets his curiosity and imagination capture the best of him one early morning and he ignores his parents advice that the alley is a joke with no truth behind its advertisement. He finds himself in the alley searching for what is explained in writhing on the alley wall as an "Omnibus." The omnibus is stated to leave and return at "sunrise and susnset" with return tickets "which may only be obtained of the driver." The boys strong imagination brought him to the crossroads of the omnibus. He first observed the sign stating "To Heaven" and allows his imagination to wonder. Why was it there? What did it mean? Was it true? That was not a question, it had to be true, and that faith made his imagination and curiosity, a Celestial reality.…
