Excerpt from School History of Texas; From Its Discovery in 1685 to 1893: For the Use of Schools, Academies, Convents, Seminaries, and All Institutions of Learning The Comanches and Kiowas were the most numerous and vindictive of all the Indian tribes within the limits of Texas. From their villages in the mountains and around the sources of the streams they extended their expeditions from the Gulf to the region of Santa Fe, and as far east as the Trinity. Mounted on their fleet horses, their attacks were sudden and their escape almost certain. They kept no treaty which their avarice, or their vindictiveness, prompted them to violate.
