Thesis
Despite rising to unprecedented power in the West, the Comanches ultimately fell because of the extinction of the buffalo, inferior weapons, and relentless American expansion.
Footage from a 1920 silent film with an all Comanche cast. Some of the actors in this film are old enough to have grown up roaming free on the bison plains. The film was thought to be lost, until 2012.
