Exciting! Exciting! Exciting!
Cayenne hires a half-breed (Maverick) to escort her thru wild Indian territory so she can get back home to help her father save his ranch. The book reveals it's secrets early on! There are no mysteries to the connection between the characters. However, the book is filled with more excitement than most any other book I have read! Cayenne and Maverick escape one dangerous situation after another...barely excaping with their lives each time. The excitement keeps you on the edge of your seat with each page. Georgina Gentry never ceases to amaze me with all the detailed history she puts in her books. There are several major historical events built around this story! If you like excitement...this book is for you!


Comanche Dictionary and Grammar (Summer Institute of Linguistics, Publications in Linguistics, #92)
Published in Paperback by Summer Inst of Linguistics (January, 1991)
Authors: Lila Wistrand Robinson and James Armagost
Average review score:

I'm not aware of a better Comanche language dictionary.
When I first received this dictionary I immediately began to look up several words my grandmother had told me. I was able to locate them easily even though the Comanche spelling scheme uses several peculiar characters (e.g. my grandmothers spelling of "posa tibo" was found under "po?sa taiboo?"). Since then I have used this book as a reference on a daily basis. It is an invaluable resource and a "must have" for any serious student of the language.

This Dictionary is based on the research of the late Elliot Canonge, who is well known to Comanches for his work during the fifties and sixties. That work resulted in Comanche Texts (1958), several beginning Comanche readers, and a collection of Comanche hymns. Canonge's research for this dictionary was checked in consultation with fluent speakers of Comanche and is probably the most comprehensive source available today.

The grammar section at the back of the book is difficult to follow and apparently intended for the professional linguist. I believe a much simpler explanation of Comanche syntax to be possible, but that is really a minor criticism.


Comanche Magic

Incredible!
This is a wonderful love story between a man and a reluctant prostitute. The story will tug at your heart and make you think of Chase and Franchine long after the book is over.


Comanche Moon
Published in Paperback by Texas A&M University Press (June, 1979)
Author: Jack Jackson
Average review score:

Accurate graphic novel format biography of Quanah Parker
Historically accurate biography of Quanah Parker, last Commanche to live free on the LLana Estacata of Texas. Also bio information about his mother Cynthia Ann Parker, a European girl captured and raised by Commanches as their own, later taken back by her white family by force after she had married and had children as a Commanche woman. Lots of information regarding the everyday life of Commanche people. Told in a graphic novel format , the drawing is not particularly beautiful, but the story and accuracy make up for it. My copy is bound in psuedo leather, looks nice. Highly recomended for adults or older adolecents. Especially those who are intellectually curious, who may or may not have trouble with standard written texts.


Comanche Six: Company Commander, Vietnam
Published in Hardcover by Presidio Pr (October, 1991)
Author: James L. Estep
Average review score:

Comanche six gets a five!
I may be a little biased but this book is great! The reason I say this is because it is written by my father's company commander. It depicts a fairly realistic idea of what my father saw for the time he was under Estep's command, but Estep did leave out some things and elaborate on others. It is an interesting book to read and it is a part of my history.


Comanche Society: Before the Reservation (The West and Southwest Series, 23)
Published in Hardcover by Texas A&M University Press (June, 2002)
Author: Gerald Betty
Average review score:

Focusing especially on how the bonds of kinship
A highly recommended contribution to Native American Studies, Comanche Society: Before the Reservation by Gerald Betty (History Department, Texas A&M, Corpus Christi) is a meticulous and scholarly study of Comanche society from the beginning of New World Colonization by European powers through the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Focusing especially on how the bonds of kinship affected the interplay within Comanche clans, and how the Comanches came to adopt horses, pastoralism, and other Iberian traits into their own culture, Comanche Society is a fascinating and analytical history of the evolution of this Native American nation.


Comanche Sunset

Comanche Sunset by F. Rosanne Bittner
I enjoyed this novel immensely. I have a well-worn copy of this book. I love F. Rosanne Bittner's stories. She writes with such clarity that you think you are there with the characters watching them as a third party. In 'Comanche Sunset' Wade Marrow is the son of a Freight Shipping Mogul, but he is also part Comanche who was abandoned by his real mother because he was a twin and Comanches think of Twins as Bad Omens. Well Lester and Vivian Marrow saved Wade from the ravages of the Texas Plains and went to California. In 1860, Wade is now 26 years old and in search of his Indian Heritage, so he hops one of his father's freight trains and goes to San Antonio where he signs on as Indian Scout for a stage coach going to Fort Stockton and meets Jennifer Andrews who is going to Ft. Stockton as a mail-order bride. Along the way the stage coach gets attacked by renegade Indians and all but Wade and Jennifer are dead in the raid. Wade and Jennifer travel alone through the Texas plains towards Ft. Stockton with Wade treating her wounds and they soon realize there was no denying the passion they were destined to share in the magnificent glow of the Comanche Sunset.

The characters are simple and believable. This book as been a favorite of mine for years because Ms. Bittner uses real places and real history in her stories that set the scene for the couples in her romance novels. Ms. Bittner did a great job in creating these characters, for how the story was written they are suited for each other. I recommend this novel to anyone who enjoys Indian romance and a F. Rosanne Bittner fan.
