Finds the 1871 incident much more complex than the simple massacre and trial posed by most historians, but a complex affair of Byzantine intrigues and of high ideals that degenerated into criminal self- righteousness. Clarifies the roles of several principles, especially Lawrie Tatum who ran the Kiowa-Comanche Agency, and Texas governor Edmund J. Davis. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
