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