ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Empire of the Summer Moon by S.C. Gwynne vividly recounts the epic saga of the Comanche Indians, a formidable and influential tribe that dominated the Southern Plains for centuries. The book traces their origins, their fierce resistance against Spanish and later American expansion, and their mastery of warfare and the landscape. It highlights the dramatic clashes and the eventual decline of their power, focusing on the pivotal figures and events that shaped their destiny and the American West. The narrative explores themes of cultural conflict, survival, and the tragic consequences of westward expansion on indigenous peoples.
