Documentary on the early Comanche

The enemy of the Hispanic Lancer below would have probably been the Comanche - this documentary deals with their adoption of the horse during the 18th century.

    Interesting look at the most horrific group of murderers,thiefs,sadistic torturers and serial rapists of the Great Plains.Golly, they were just fighting to preserve their way of life.

 This portrayal is 2 years in the making. Von Donop 1776. By Marshall Beresford.  Very good. Check out his Facebook page here .
