an american hero

i'm on a plains indian history reading binge of late --- the apache chief geronimo's autobiography; utley's bio of sitting bull, powers' the killing of crazy horse, drury and clavin's bio of red cloud, all about the northern souix; and gwynne's bio of quana parker and the comanche

it's a different story than the eradication of some of the eastern tribes and forced removal of most of the rest --- but the result was the same: the destruction of a culture

the photos are quana parker (1845-1911) and his house in cache, oklahoma
