In early 1858, Captain John “RIP” Ford led a detachment of Texas Rangers, along with their Native American allies, on a punitive expedition deep in the heart of Comancheria. Their mission was to catch the Comanche unaware and prove they could strike them in their own backyard. What followed is known as the Battle or Campaign of Antelope Hills aka the Battle of Little Robe Creek. Also discussed in this episode: The Tonkawa and their Chief Placido, Comanche Chiefs Iron Jacket & Peta Nocona, and the astonishing raiding capabilities of the Comanche. #history #western #wildwest
