Publisher Description Peerless horsemen, hunters and warriors, the Comanches were among the most powerful Indian tribes west of the Mississippi. Consequently, when white settlers entered their country slaughtering bison and dispossessing the inhabitants, the Comanches retaliated. They attacked travellers on the Santa Fe trail and raided along the Texan frontier and deep into northern Mexico. Responding in kind, the United States government ordered the army to punish the Indians and force them into reservations. "Without Quarter" is the story of the major US army expedition against the Comanches between the Mexican and Civil wars.

Scouring the country north, east and west, in search of Comanches, the Wichita expedition precipitated two major engagements known as the battle at the Wichita Village and the battle of Crooked Creek. During the latter fight, the soldiers killer or captured all the inhabitants of a Comanche village.
