Stories Bigger Than Texas: The Alamo Podcast
Episode 96: The Texans & The Comanches
 
The Comanches rode through history on horseback, earning a reputation as formidable foes on the frontier. The Indigenous tribe both served as witness and played an active role in every era of Texas history.

We reveal how the Comanches first encountered Spanish settlers, the part they played in the fight for Texas independence, and how their renowned battle skills led to a warfare game changer. Featuring The Texas Center's Dr. Don Frazier from Schreiner University.
