About this book

Clyde L. Jackson and Grace Jackson's QUANAH PARKER, Last Chief of the Comanches: A Study in Southwestern Frontier History is a compelling historical biography of Quanah Parker, the legendary leader who guided his people through one of the most transformative periods in Native American history. Born to the Comanche warrior Peta Nocona and the captured Anglo-American woman Cynthia Ann Parker, Quanah's life was shaped by the clash of cultures on the 19th-century Southwestern frontier.

The book traces Quanah's rise from a fierce young warrior resisting U.S. expansion to his leadership as the last chief of the Comanches, navigating the difficult transition from a nomadic way of life to reservation existence. The Jacksons provide an in-depth exploration of his role in the Red River War, his eventual surrender in 1875, and his later efforts to advocate for his people's welfare, including his work in ranching, politics, and relations with the U.S. government.

Through meticulous research and engaging narrative, QUANAH PARKER, Last Chief of the Comanches presents a vivid portrait of a leader who balanced tradition with adaptation, earning the respect of both Comanche and non-Native communities. A vital work for those interested in Native American history, the American West, and the life of one of the most influential figures of the era, this study offers a rich and nuanced perspective on the resilience and leadership of the last great chief of the Comanche Nation.
