"The rise and fall of the comanche empire" by Historian Robert Kennedy depicts the rise and fall of the comanche empire who were one of the Most powerful indian tribes in Native American history. Among other Native American tribes such as the Apache, Osage, Cherokee, Sioux e.t.c. The Comanche were one of the most powerful Native American tribes who were recognized as an empire by scholars. These was because: They mastered an equestrian warrior culture unlike any tribe before. They ruled vast territories from horseback, their empire was unmatched in size and military dominance across the Southern Plains. They were nomadic buffalo hunters, they adapted rapidly to firearms and tactics and became skilled raiders, facing off against all colonial powers invading their homeland. In this book, Historian Robert Kennedy took the time and research to write about their Dominance. Chapter 1 talks about their origins Chapter 2 about their dominance in horse and bison Chapter 3 tells about their religion in details, family, kinship, culture etc Chapter 4 depicts about comanche resistance to colonialism Chapter 5 - 12 talks about the compelling life histories of Quanah Parker and Cynthia Ann Parker (who was captured by the comanche and later grew to love the tribe), adobe walls and reservation, then finally the red river war and a new era. By any measure of territorial dominance, economic influence, no indigenous nation burned brighter or left a deeper imprint on the history of North America than the once masters of the southern plains - the Comanche. For those interested in Native American history, this remains essential grasslands reading.

One of the most gripping serial crimes of all time!!!!In the early 1920s, in Osage County, Oklahoma, members of the Osage Nation began dying under mysterious circumstances. Some were shot; others were killed in bombing attacks or died from poisoning. Within just a few years, over a dozen Osage people had perished. The Osage called this violent period the "Reign of Terror," as they lived in constant fear for their lives. What made these crimes even more sinister was that the Osage were an extremely wealthy tribe due to the vast oil resources discovered beneath their reservation lands. It seemed the murders were all linked to the inheritors of deceased tribal members' estates. As the death toll rose, the scattered crime scenes and cover-ups indicated this was no random string of attacks-it was a coordinated, premeditated conspiracy to profit off Osage deaths. With the growing body count and lack of answers from local law enforcement, the relatively new Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), under Director J. Edgar Hoover, stepped in to investigate. This riveting true crime book details the "Reign of Terror" through extensive archival research and first-hand accounts. It traces the FBI's pioneering investigation that overcame corruption and prejudice to finally bring the perpetrators to justice. Most chillingly, it exposes how unchecked greed and a sense of racial entitlement led to the brazen commission of one of the deadliest serial murder plots in America's history against the Osage people. A harrowing yet crucial story of justice triumphant against all odds.
