She Faced Five Comanches With A Double-Barreled Shotgun: Mary Eubanks' Heroic Defense, TX, 1860 

I hear they are finally revamping the Baker Hotel :)

That’s right boyeee!

Its south of the heart. The heart, KC,’s clotted with slave made cattle. Mary[, slaves ]bank.

By any chance sir do you live on the reservation in Oklahoma.

@@user-oh7tn1bu3r No. Shortly after the final surrender at Fort Sill many of my people left the Fort unauthorized never to return . My descendants were part of that group. I am a direct descendant to White Eagle the last spiritual leader of the Comanche who brought the bands together as one and fought alongside Quannah in the final days .

@@wyldvigilante thank you sir' I'm from the UK I'm not too familiar with the customs of the Comanche'. I've had an invite from a Comanche chief' the chief wild horse' who I have researched and sure enough he did a rain dance' in our drought of 76'. Obviously I was going to ask you what to expect' and more sort of intricate details. Anyway thank you for sharing your history' it's great to hear it from the other side. Regards Darren m

@@user-oh7tn1bu3r You’re welcome. It is a pleasure to share my heritage with others , especially since little is known about the history of war like tribes such as mine. Much of our history is known only to us and is often disregarded because it never appeared in books .

I. read about how fierce the Apaches were , but even they were afraid of the Comanches .

Thanks Ludwig! I just ordered that book. Someone else commented on this video that his name was Salamander and he was taken from a Spanish/Mexican family.

Not true. There were more volunteer units in the west while the Civil War was raging than regulars before.

Texas voted to secede in 1861. This happened in 1860. There were US Army units stationed in Texas at the time (1). Also at this point in time the US Army totalled around 16,000 officers and men. Spread all over the the United States and its territories. From the Pacific Northwest to Florida. From San Diego to Maine. This included frontier forts, forts guarding major ports, some training facilities etc. The total area of this around 3,120,000 sqm. This comes out to 195 square miles per man for the US Army. Even if you subtract a 1/3rd for the settled eastern half you're still at 120 square miles per man. 1) R E Lee was actually in command of a calvary regiment (likely understrength) in Texas prior to being re-assigned in the Washington area in 1859

@@mpetersen6 Thanks, All good research, but 1860 slaughter was not the last. Tribal ttacks occurred throughout The War to Prevent Southern Independence.

Y'all didn't have enough money to steal.

@@82ismi That's right. Volunteers and militias. Not a real army. and when they did sent one, it was composed of ex confederate soldiers.

Not accurate information. There are many documented confrontations between the Comanche engaging their enemies with arrows against bullets. Arrows held in one hand while firing with the other from horseback not only allowed Comanche to fire fast but also provide a moving target which is harder to shoot. The old musket loaders were especially slow and offered no advantages. When better weapons became available Comanche obtained them in raids or through Comancheros who they traded with.

There aint no chartered man outside of story either.

Banks are fictional too.

Not at close range, that's for dang sure.

Strong people for sure

They were lured by the Dec of Independence US Constitution and guarantee to defend property rights.

That's been my thought exactly .

Lack of choice. They couldn't jump on a boat back to Europe any time they wanted to. Even those who went voluntarily wouldn't have been able to afford the trip home to their own country.

Yes, but born there and seeing no choice...

Probably

Or his mother was an abducted or rape victim taken by the Comanches

*Don't discount the fact there were also "False Flag Events", and "Crisis Actors".* *Some would dress up like Indians to cause conflict, and sway opinion to fit a particular agenda.*

Learning of the Boston Tea Party in school , on hearing they dressed as Indians to try to frame them I thought , that's lower than a rat's arse .@@tropocal2343

There were red haired giants found in cave in Nevada cave skeletons still had red hair.

There's been no skeletons found as giants don't exist. The whole "giants exist" thing was nothing but tabloids trying to make sells.

Settlers made up stories of giants to excuse killing Indians

There’s a word for that you know

​@@Quincy_MorrisStockholm syndrome

​@@Quincy_MorrisGINGER

It's a recessive trait so...nope.

Likely a captive captured young and raised in the tribal society.

😂😂😂😂 Your teacher didn’t learn anything about American Indians !!!

@@johnlogan5152 maybe more than you

That's odd, in the 70s mine told us they were crying about air pollution.

Yeah we're fed the lies that the Indians want told

That's a strange statement coming from somebody who uses an Indian name.

@@user-oh7tn1bu3r not an Indian name 😃

Well it could easily be mistaken' in fact that's why I asked you for advice on Indian reservations' some time ago' and now I see why you didn't reply lol.

@@deadhorse1391 so what sort of name is it then.

a 100% natural beauty

​@@katie195Not her actual picture. No known picture of her exists.

Said no dem ever.

Yes, look for another comment on this video by someone who said they have Comanche ancestry. This person said his name was Salamander and he was captured from a Mexican/Spanish family.

Deprived is a lack of something. Depraved means extreme indifference to suffering.

@@scallopohare9431 so what is the difference between Indian deprivations'and deprivatitys in the context of the book. Could not either be both. It may just be a more modern version of the term it's very similar in spelling.

Probably meant depredations​. That's basically a raid where the raiders plunder goods and harm the inhabitants and their holdings, maybe take some slaves. Very popular with Barbary Pirates, Vikings, Mongols, Native Americans, etc. Different than invasion when you plan to stay, like Normans. @@user-oh7tn1bu3r

It both means the same ''atrocities''

@@user-oh7tn1bu3r The best-known use of "deprivation" is sleep deprivation. Going without sleep. Which certainly is detrimental to a person's health. "Depravity" is probably more often used in legal procedings. A defendent might be charged with depraved indifference to another person being is great danger. That's a crime. If that does not clear it up, you are on the intertubes, and can look it up.

The gun that won the west.

The picture isn’t period specific if that is what you are referring to.

@@arthurbrumagem3844 Yep

😂

Oh grow up.

Oh dude, quit your bitchin ! He is a good story teller !

It is a Texas accent!!

The Comanches were just as imperialistic as whites toward non Comanches as the whites were toward native Americans Read "Empire of the summer moon "to see how the Comanches viewed other humans who were not of members of their tribe

Actually they were that way long before the Settlers from the East got here. It was survival sure, but much was also sport for them.

Quana Parker described those days as " we were like a pack of wolves ranging across the plains" .

He’s reciting from an old text, they used that word a lot in history.

The man is reading a book. That's where he gets true eyewitness and survivors first hand accounts. From all over the colonies aka united States. From pioneers, forest workers, Texas rangers, ranchers, etc. Encounter's they had with different Indian tribes. Great stuff.

It's the truth
