Quanah Parker was the last great chief of the Comanche, but he was a man of two worlds. His father was a famed Comanche warchief named Peta Nocona, while his mother was the daughter of Scotch-Irish settlers who had come to America in the 1700’s and fought in the Revolutionary War.

Join History At The OK Corral for the story of how the greatest chief of the Comanche rose to power after his life was turned upside down when his father was killed and his mother was “rescued” by the Texas Rangers, leaving Quanah and his younger brother to fend for themselves.

But, as his mother wiles away a tedious, torturous life in a small town outside of Fort Worth, Quanah’s stature as a warrior is on the rise due a series of brutal raids that ravaged the entirety of Central Texas throughout the latter half of the 1860’s. Finally, while on a raid to steal horses, Quanah seizes the opportunity to become a leader, and things for himself, as well as the Comanche, are never the same again.
