Abstract

"Incident on the Prairies" from Narrative of the Texan Santa Fé Expedition, comprising a description of a tour through Texas, and across the great southwestern prairies, the Camanche and Caygüa hunting-grounds, with an account ofthe sufferingsfrom want offood, lossesfrom hostile Indians, and final capture of the Texans, and their march, as prisoners, to the tity ofMexico (New York: Harper and Brothers, 1844) by Geo. Willems Kendall. This image shows a party ofwhite travelers surprised by Comanche buffalo hunters. Many current scholars argue that the Comanches were the dominant political entity in Texas around 1845, refuting the idea that Anglo Americans such as the travelers in this image easily hegemonized the region after Texas won its independence from Mexico.
