Mackenzie, in the most daring and decisive battle of the campaign, destroyed five Indian villages on September 28, 1874, in Palo Duro Canyon. [7] In exchange for this, the Texans would cease military action against the Comanches, establish more trading posts, and recognize the boundary between Texas and Comanchera. The photo that is often labelled "Buffalo Hump" is controversial and many scholars don't think that's Buffalo Hump for two reasons: 1) the photo is dated 1872 and it's not a photo of a 72-year-old man, and 2) Buffalo Hump died in 1870 ( not a 72-year-old dead man).

Lamar's success in ethnically cleansing the Cherokee, a neutral tribe, from Texas emboldened him to do the same with the Plains tribes. [14][25] Lamar became convinced that the Cherokee could not be allowed to stay in Texas after their part in the 1838-39 Crdova Rebellion (and after some disaffected Cherokee carried out the 1838 Killough massacre). Colonists were armed with single-shot weapons, which the Comanche, in particular, had learned very well to counter. But the defenders were awake, and their long-range buffalo guns rendered the attack useless.

Until around the mid-17th century, the Comanche were part of the Shoshone people living along the upper Platte River in present-day Wyoming. [2] These Comanches were angered by the events of the Council House, in which Texans had killed the Comanche Chiefs when the Texans had raised a white flag of truce. The Kiowa-Apache chief Iron Shirt was killed when he refused to leave his tepee. Chief Dohsan and his people fled, passing the alarm to allied Comanche villages nearby, while Guipago, young war chief and nephew to Dohasan, managed to restrain the enemy. In addition, by the 1830s the Comanche had established a large network of Indian allies and a vast trading network. Both the bison and the people who lived off it nearly became extinct at the same time[65] There were perhaps 20 engagements between Army units and the Plains Indians during the Red River War.

Santa Anna claimed the right to raid into Mexico and as the United States was then at war with Mexico, Neighbors didnt raise any objections, so that summer Buffalo Hump, Yellow Wolf, and Santa Anna led some hundreds warriors into Coahuila and Chihuahua, burning villages, stealing horses and kidnapping women and children all the way to San Francisco del Oro.

Earl Van Dorn. Killing Indians became government policy when President Lamar prescribed "an exterminating war" of "total extinction". As carried out, the policy was based on establishing a permanent Indian frontier, i.e., a line beyond which the various "removed" tribes would be able to carry on their lives free from white settlement or attacks. They herded large numbers of cattle into pens and slaughtered them. The citizens responded by pursuing the Comanches to a village on the Pease River, but because there were too many Comanches, the citizens had to wait for a larger force to arrive.

Only five Adelsverein settlements were attempted in the Fisher-Miller land grant area: Bettina, Castell, Leiningen, Meerholz, and Schoenburg.

They made increased demands for the republic to retaliate against the Comanche. This caused Buffalo Hump to agree with Yellow Wolf (who had proved himself to have a more realistic view than Buffalo Hump in evaluating the settlers' concern for a fair and lasting peace) and Santa Annas suspicions of the Texans motives, changing his stance to align himself with his cousin and the third war chief, and repudiate the treaty, and hostilities soon resumed.
