Empire of the Summer Moon: Quanah Parker and the Rise and Fall of the Comanches, the Most Powerful Indian Tribe in American History by S. C. Gwynne (Scribner, 2010) tells two stories. The first traces the rise and fall of the Comanches, the most powerful Indian tribe in American history. The second is the saga of the pioneer woman Cynthia Parker and her mixed-blood son Quanah, who became the last and greatest chief of the Comanches. Borger is mentioned on p. 216. This history although it includes all the big names we know, including Billy Dixon, is NOTHING like what we learned in Texas history.

Remember Boy Scout Troop 66?

Does anyone remember being a member of Boy Scout Troop 66? Considering some of our activities, its a wonder that we survived. One evening we hiked down the canyons toward "Elephant Rock" and the new members were required to walk across a rather long pipeline over a deep chasm. I don't think a merit badge was involved for that effort. The campouts involving "snipe hunts" are particularly favorite memories!
Snipe hunting was legal back then! Nolan Duncan was Scoutmaster when I was in Troop '66. Advancement wasn't a big issue with him but having a great time certainly was. The camping trips in that old school bus; summer camp at Camp Kiowa. We used to meet in the basement of the Methodist Church. Never got to go on the 'big trip' to Colorado.
