Quanah Parker, Comanche Chief
By William T. Hagan
Volume 6 in the Oklahoma Western Biographies Series
"The best biography of Quanah Parker in print. Hagan does much to separate the man from the myth and put this Comanche leader in a proper historical perspective"-R. David Edmunds, Indiana University
"Carefully researched, well presented, and eminently fair, the biography shows how Quanah and, by extension, many Plains Indian leaders of the period sought to maintain their cultural identity on reservations even as they adapted to a white-dominated world."-Journal of Southern History
"By clearing away many myths and misunderstandings, Quanah Parker, Comanche Chief gives valuable insight into the ’survival strategies’ of Native Americans. General readers and scholars will relish this interpretation."-Panhandle-Plains Historical Review
