Texas Rangers Raid Comanches in 1858 Frontier War
In 1858 Texas legislators mobilized 100 Rangers under Col. Rip Ford to strike Indian bands in the Texas Panhandle. The force crossed to the North Fork Red River near Mountain Home Oklahoma, battled on the Canadian River, and defeated about 400 Comanches in a multi-mile day fight. The expedition included a captured boy seeking safety with the Rangers and a mulatto guide described as from a “new tribe” amid harsh frontier life. The narrative is drawn from Rip Ford's Texas by John Salmon Ford.
