Indian smoke signals and mirror signaling among plains tribes
The article describes how mountain tribes, especially Comanches, Cheyennes, Crow, and Arapaho groups, use smoke signals and mirror flashes for battlefield and camp communication. It details arrow codes, margins of threat, and the precision of mounted Comanche signaling led by a chief using a palm-held mirror to direct unit movements. It notes variations among tribes and that mirror signaling is relatively recent and not universal.
