[Ff--150]

The group of Comanche Indians from the Lawton area were selected for special duty in the U.S. Army to provide the Allies with a language that the Germans could not decipher.

I had business around the Lawton area yesterday and wife went with me and I told a story about Geronimo in that area [the Apache war chief].

My wife chimed in to tell them I was one of Quanah's decendants [Quanah Parker, half-breed, last great warrior chief of the Comanches].

The ol'boy I was primarily doing business with jaw dropped for he knew an Araphaho decendant of Quanah's who was named Quanah as matter of fact.

Comanches are a fascinating study--even if you are not one.

Comanches are a fascinating study--even if you are not one.

Personally, I think we could all learn a lot from Native Americans, and our actions prove who really is/was civilized.

Every year in Fredericksburg, TX the Comanches hold their pow-wow, about mid-May. They still make a big deal about the friendship between the Comanches and the German settlers in the Texas Hill Country.
