Comanche Warriors vs. Texas Buffalo Hunters : Quanah Parker & The Battle Of Adobe Walls
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ก.ย. 2023
- In 1874, as the buffalo herds that they depend on are systematically annihilated, the tribes of the Southern Plains are becoming increasingly angry at the men killing their buffalo. These men, the buffalo hunters, are often in their 20’s and with little other economic opportunity. They are a dirty, unkempt and hard-fighting lot.
Now, after being convinced by a conniving medicine man that they must band together and rid their homelands of the white man once and for all, a large band of Comanche, Cheyenne, Kiowa and Arapahoe warriors descend upon a remote outpost on the plains of North Texas.
The place is known as Adobe Walls, and the buffalo hunters who live there will soon be in the fight of their lives. Quanah Parker, legendary chief of the Comanche will lead the attack. What follows become one of the most legendary battles in Old West history.

No one does Western History better! Awesome work
Wonderful story-telling, keeping alive a legend known to the many generations of Texas schoolchildren which followed this event. Thank you for your work.
I was waiting for the story of the second battle of Adobe wall.
the research and passion comes thru with your enjoyable narration..so overlooked and deserving of so much more..
Agreed
Europeans wrote this story.
Not the Comanche Nation

Every story, a masterpiece of minimalist narrative.
Thanks for the video History at the OK Corral! Good stuff sir!
Thank you 💛 for the video, much appreciated Sir!!!
Love these videos, especially about the plains tribes! Keep up the great work!
Another great video! Thanks for being so consistent with the releases, I'm always excited to watch a new one
I am very interested in American history. You are very good a telling these stories. More please.
I think after the battle and I found out that the bar tender worked my ass off for nothing instead telling me so that I could prepare for battle I would still be kicking his ass long after our deaths.
Incredible history. Thank you sir.
Hope to see you very soon.
Excellent work as always.
Always excited when a new story comes up from the OK Corral. Thanks and greetings from Copenhagen, Denmark 🇩🇰
Do yourself a favor. Google Isatai'i. He was given that name at Adobe Walls. His name before the battle was Quenatosavit. (White eagle) The new name, Isatai'i translated in English is unforgettable. The why it was given is a fun read.
Awesome story, thank you for your insight.
Excellent,
Thank you,

Thanks, great upload. 👍
Thanks for the visit
Another great video in the books 🤙 looking forward to the next
Another excellent video, I really enjoy your channel. It is my hope in the lot too distant future to visit the site of Adobe walls.
Another excellent video.
Thanks!
Outstanding story telling
Beautifully narrated to near-perfect cadence. Subbed and belled.
Excellent storytelling it was quite spellbinding
Best channel ever
Splendid!
Damn, they scalped the friggin dog.
Newfoundlands have big fluffy coats
Based natives 🏹 🐎
And the accurate rifle fires of the good Sharp ‘s rifles also was an decisive factor for the perimeter distance control .
A very good perfomance, I read a lot about, and I mean a lot but I like the details you give about the behave of Hanrahan inside and the roof post. It's was written in a german novel, The summer when the buffalo died, but I don't think, it made it for english...the number of the killed warriors was not that big but the took it more in heart and soul...Ishatai was for Quanah Parker what was Tenks'kwata for the great Tecumseh. You let out the handful of Prairie Apache which People was always with them, at least the books said so. The scalp of the dog was danced like a man's...Guess Dixons nickname before, I enjoyed a loss of input here about a old wisecrack saying it's never done well for horseback Indians to take on walls. It was the second step for the Nemen'na into the surrendering..God's Blessings from Northern Germany Ludwig.
A bit of revenge almost exactly 2 years later in Eastern Montana.
Brilliant.
Nice work.
The title is something of a misnomer.
The buffalo hunters were mainly from further north
where they had hunted the buffalo to near extinction.
When they retreated they did not go deeper into Texas.
They went to Dodge City.
The Indians had a treaty protecting their buffalo from
the hide hunters. There is nothing glorious in the hide
hunters objectives. They could get $2 for every hide,
and they acted along those lines.
One of the men in the walls, shot himself to death
by accident. The Adobe Walls is a lonesome place
even on the anniversary of the fight. When I was there,
nobody else was there.

There's actually a good book out about Billy Dixon, the Life of Billy Dixon, l read it a few years ago, he was an interesting man. The Sharps he used for the famous shot was supposidly 1500 yds, he had borrowed a big .50, his rifle was .45 calibre. In the 70s l lived on a section of the 6666 Ranch, the Dixon Creek branch down on the Canadian River that was by the battle site, l developed an interest in the history of the region. In Lonesome Dove, when Gus rescued Lori from Blue Duck and his gang, they took refuge at the old fort.
On Google Maps you can use the measuring tool to figure the distance. Its quite accurate from experience measuring known distances. This story has me curious to check out that location.
Correction to above. The author is W. S. Nye. See page 191 for the fight at Adobe Walls.
Jeff Guinn wrote a pretty good novel, "Buffalo Trail", based on this.
A really important detail that was left out was that after the battle of adobe walls the remaining Indians went on a huge raid where almost 200 people were killed, groups of Buffalo hunters were captured and tortured to death. They failed at adobe but they did get their revenge.
Did I understand you to say they scalped the dog?
Yep, sounds like cheating to me. "Look at me guys, I scalped a dead dog. I am such a warrior"
@@LuvBorderColliesthere’s no such thing as cheating when battling in a life or death situation
Poor little Doggo! 💔
Was it the Ghost dance is what they were dancing.

"Whoa, wtf happened last night!?!"
"Uh... we won a battle, I guess?"

The best account of this fight can be found in the book Carbine and Lance by W.S. Bye . This book has the account of the battle from first hand accounts of the attackers. The Indian struck by the shot was not killed but knocked off his horse when the spent bullet struck his war shield.
Correction the author is W. S. Nye.
The Comanche were never good at attacking fortified positions + laughably bad at sieges, which is why they almost never tried these type of attacks. During the 1800s, it’s estimated the entire Comanche population was a mere 13,000, but because they were able to move so fast it made them appear more numerous leading to estimations of their population as more than 100k at the time. They excelled in the open and in ambushes.
All of your information is incorrect and a guess at best.
There are still 180k Numun today.
Europeans murdered 60k Comanche Women and Children at Fort Sill Oklahoma.
So you are wrong

I believe General Sherman was the Secretary of Defense and as in the Civil War when he marched to the sea and remov3d the South's food supply, he used the same tactic against the Indians

That's a photo of a bar in San Francisco there are no photos of the bar at Adobe Walls that I am aware of.
The native Americans didn't believe the white man could kill all the buffalo because they had seen herds that took four days to pass.
An aspect that someone could expand on with a video is the North American bison were saved from extinction by a white man and a native American both had a few and together they had breeding stock.
I had the opportunity to have a buffalo burger while traveling through Wyoming one time and I highly recommend it to everyone who's interested.
I have always been curious about where and how the natives came by the war paint they used.
Indigenous PEOPLE saved the Buffalo.
Not anyone else
-COMANCHE NATION
@@thechiefwildhorse4651you might want to do some research on the rancher in SD ( shorty smith I believe) who actually recognized bison were about to be extinct and saved the last few .
@@arthurbrumagem3844Bison here in South Dakota are half breeds like myself 🤪 The only true American Bison are two herds, one in Yellowstone and one on Native Land in Utah that wasn’t known about until recently. Only the rest of the nation thinks of this part of the nation as white man, brown man, red man, yellow man…. City folk have poisoned minds. What was done to these creatures is ghastly and one farmer exploiting a few pure breeds to perpetually exploit without the ability to roam in its greatness is nothing to be proud of. If you want to get really pissed off, research wild horse roundups paid for by the American taxpayer so ranchers can graze for less than a dollar a head a year. Private ventures should be carried out on private land, not on the public.
@@eversnajera yeah, don’t get me started on the wild horse issue. My arguments with ranchers don’t turn out pleasant
This tale was told in Deadwood Dick comic book
Rock beats paper. Thick walls beats fast horse.
Their mistake was killing the dog. Karma swung against them instantly.
Yes that’s the problem
Oh yeah.... But I don't think it compares to destroying 7/8 of a people's primary covering and food supply.
Funny thing about karma, it can be fitted up to any illogical circumstance....
Lol. That's hilarious
Karma is not eternal so any dog negativities resulted in a temporal element to karma.So,if there is no infinite regress on humanity,the future pains envisioned is minimal!😮
@@robertofunk673 I don’t believe in Karma, so this was just rhetorical.
it was Comanche vs the whole USA

Why isn't the Comanche Nation consulted on these stories.
We can prove some of this information is not correct
-COMANCHE NATION
His-story
Empire of the Summer Moon ...states that "Itchi-tia" means "Coyote Vagina"....made me wonder how they named their children....and why
I've read that and several other books about the second battle of adobe walls and my theory is Isa-Tai received his name at this battle. His previous name is unknown.
The rifles might have been 4570
Possible as Sharps cartridge rifles could be had in a variety of bore sizes and cartridge lengths. 45-110 and 45-120 were popular. I always read a Sharps 50-90 was used by Billy Dixon because he didn't think his 45-90 could reach that far.
Ramones "Quanah B. Sedated". 😐
It’s so funny that the Comanche and such would call themselves “superior” warriors (which they were in some aspects) after destroying a family that could barely defend themselves. And then whenever they would get fucked up by rifles or men with training they would blame on some bs; like isatai’i having no combat experience and immediately blaming their failure on the Cheyenne eating a skunk, same vibe as cod players blaming lag on why the suck at the game lol
They routinely used surprise and superior numerical superiority to enemies. One on one they were hardly supermen.
They scalped the dog ? … was that normal ?

It always seems strange to me the lack tactics and weapons used. There’s stuff dating back to before the Romans that would have been useful against natives. Did they forget about caltrops and quilted body armor?
I don't know about caltrops, but quilted armour would've been hell to wear in the Texas summer. It would provide protection against arrows and tomahawks, but not against bullets. In my opinion, it just wouldn't provide enough protection to be worth wearing, and the people back in those days seem to have concluded the same thing.
@@5h0rgunn45When it was too hot, probably could use it like a life vest for boating, just put it on when the arrows and lances started to fly. The Spanish used them in Mexico for awhile and they were used in ancient India. So the heat shouldn’t have kept them from being used.
@@HarupertBeagleton-dz5gwExactly. Quilted cotton soaked in brine is much cooler than steel armor. Many Spaniards ditched their heavy armor and wore quilted cotton.
they actually scalped a dog?
They cut the ears off of a dog Bigfoot Wallace found in an abandoned village
When you scalp a dog...
That's going too far.
No one scalped a dog.

@@thechiefwildhorse4651 Thats exactly what you sound like. By the way dogs were also consumed.
Mountain Man didn't have no Sergeant or commanders mess everything up🎉,
They didn't have small Springfield Rifles🎉,
They were straight badasses, and the Comanche were used to fighting armies Mexican mostly and American. The Comanche is the only reason Mexico didn't take America all the way through Canada

@@healdiseasenow Strongly supported by non-natives,
many of whom wanted to settle on native lands. The idea that
whites should populate the continent is called Manifest Destiny.
Some Americans opposed the law, including many Christian
missionaries who recognized the act as unfair and unjust.

Life is not fair nor just !
Either you cooperate with all the tribes in the region to put up a legit defense w/offense. Or you continue to kill and bully your neighboring tribes and lead yourself to defeat. Nobody said life was fair or a game. There are serious consequences for your behavior or the lack of proper behavior. Nobody runs to defend a bunch of people who want to kill them since their ancestors can remember.

I don’t care how drunk you are (unless of course you’re passed out) the Comanche war cry would sober you up quickly🙄!
Your depiction of the comanche being devoid of religion is false.
