*The Comanche Perspective* illuminates one of the most infamous events in early Texas history — the Council House Fight. Traditionally portrayed through a narrow, one-sided lens, this book challenges the conventional narrative by exploring the complex web of cultural misunderstandings and mounting tensions between the Penateka Comanche and the Texians. Drawing on diverse perspectives and in-depth research, it reveals how mutual distrust and hostility led to the tragic clash on March 19, 1840. By shedding light on the shared responsibilities and deep-seated grievances that fueled this violent encounter, *The Comanche Perspective* provides a fresh and balanced understanding of a crucial moment in the history of the American frontier.
