Takeaways
Description
Empire of the Summer Moon is a stunningly vivid historical account of the forty-year battle between Comanche Indians and white settlers for control of the American West. Centering on Quanah, the greatest Comanche chief of them all, it also entails one of the most remarkable narratives ever to come out of the Old West: the epic saga of the pioneer woman Cynthia Ann Parker and her mixed-blood son Quanah, who became the last and greatest chief of the Comanches.
