Quanah Parker was considered the Last Comanche Chief. His mother was Cynthia Ann Parker, who at the age of 9 was captured during a Comanche raid of her Parker family settlement on the frontier of the Lone Star Republic of Texas. Raised as a Comanche, when grown she married Chief Peta Nokona and bore 3 children, the first being a son, Quanah (Frangrance).  Quanah, born in 1850, grew to be an able warrior and well-respected amongst his people despite his mixed blood. Through the leadership of his father and his own, a great many Comanches refused to sign the Treaty of Medicine Lodge in 1867 which brought most of the Comanche to a reservation in southwestern Oklahoma. No! Quanah and the Comanches expected to be free to hunt the buffalo on the land which was theirs from 100 centuries back in time.  Only, the U.S. Army, the Texas Rangers, buffalo hunters, and settlers kept invading and interfering. The Comanches raided and attacked, killing thousands of settlers and soldiers before Quanah ultimately surrendered in 1875 (after the buffalo herds were gone and his people were starving). Like Sitting Bull, Geronimo, and others, Quanah would later become a celebrity and embraced his new life as a United States citizen.  In fact, he became a very successful rancher. He managed to visit Washington DC and meet with President Theodore Roosevelt. He also played a cameo role in an early motion picture. As a warrior, he was an Eagle, as a leader fighting for fair treatment of his people, he was a Hoss. As an immigrant from over a hundred centuries past (from Asia), he was an Immigrant Mutt, like the rest of us! The Eagle Hoss & Hound podcast is a platform for respect. Respect for the Eagle - the individual with a service background (including spouses). Respect for the Hoss - the Social Integrity Hero from our American past. Plus, the Hound - the common #AmericanMutt - you and me. Follow @EagleIMBUED - J.D. Collier
