Well, if she indeed did that, she was echoing their savagery.
Exactly.

In this version, the Indians are only protecting themselves from invading European terrorists.

Yes, Cynthia Parker's story is gripping and worthy of a film.
Also, an unknown or ignored story is that of Britt Johnson, a freed slave in Texas of the same time period, whose wife and 2 children were kidnapped by Comanches along with a white woman and her child.
All the white guys gave up but Britt kept after them, alone, pretended to be a trader and crept into the Comanche camp and brought them all home.
An incredible story of courage, love and perseverance. Never told. I bet you never heard of it.

Then they could put in about Quanah's retiring on the oil lease $$$ with seven wives (or something like that.) What a guy!

Well that should incite riots and protests somewhere.
To: Pharmboy
Oh, yeah. You're right; I misread the wording. It did say that the "Naturals" did the heinous deed.

Ready-to-air for HBO: "HEAP BIG LOVE".
Somehow that bit of Quanah's life was left out of the required unit
of Oklahoma history we took in junior high school!
And so was the peyote use. I didn't learn of it until reading
later about "The Long Shot" incident.

LOL! So he drank a little tea and liked pretty young women :-).
Quanah was really something in his time. Theodore Roosevelt met him (and some of his wives) when TR was hunting coyotes out in Western Oklahoma around the turn of the century.

Too bad that Henry Bouquet was a British officer. Only Mel Gibson could do justice to the utter bloodbath that was Pontiac's Rebellion. It would make "Patriot" look tame.
Maybe he could be convinced to do a War of 1812 movie...

I liked him in "Heat" also. Michael Mann loves the guy...

Yes...I noticed that also. What an unfortunate name...but I would bet that this guy knows how to fight. Otherwise, he would NEVER have survived high school.

Well, "cute" wasn't my best word choice. "Distinctive, and really cool" would have been better. Like Edward James Olmos twenty years ago.

I could not agree with you more. Wes Studi has a terrific screen presence. He stole every scene he was in in "The Last of the Mohicans" (another Michael Mann film, BTW).
