ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

“Empire of the Summer Moon” by S.C. Gwynne tells the epic story of the Comanche tribe and their resistance against American expansion in the 19th century. It focuses on the rise of Comancheria, their mastery of the plains, and the central role of Quanah Parker, the son of a Comanche chief and a captured settler. The book explores themes of resilience, cultural conflict, and adaptation as the Comanche struggle to maintain their way of life amidst the violent encroachment of settlers, the U.S. military, and shifting national policies. It offers a deep dive into the complexities of Native American history and westward expansion.
