At last the truth is out. It wasn’t the white mans disease or Col. McKenzie that spelled the end to the South Plaines Comanche it was the Viking!
The Vikings caused mass suicides among the Comanche tribes by their plunder and burn tactics. After bringing their long ships up the Concho, Colorado, and Brazos rivers and scaring off the Buffalo there was nothing left for the tribes to do.
What about it Old Salt?
