5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent combination of history and anthropology., 31 Jan 1998
By A Customer
T.R. Fehrenbach's The Comanches is a wonderful, unflinching look at a powerful yet tragic tribe of Indians. The thing that separates Fehrenbach from other history writers is his use of anthropology.He explains why these and other Indians did not evolve beyond the Stone Age. For teachers like myself it helps to know why geography and culture(not race) influence different peoples' actions.

5.0 out of 5 stars As readable as Michener, 23 Feb 1997
By A Customer
I am a Texan, so it is hard for a history of Texas to meet my expectations, without touching a tender myth. Fehrenbach has made this history a sensitive retelling of Texas history which is as readable as Michener's book, but, of course, much more factual. And he destroys the loved Texas myths with gentleness and sensitivity. A must read for any American history buff, and for many who didn't think they were. This is also an excellent book to give to someone who thinks they don't like history.

5.0 out of 5 stars An ephemeral empire
T.R. Fehrenbach has written a work of lyrical beauty and bloody savagery that transcends its subject to convey sometimes harsh lessons applicable to all humanity. Read more
