Comanche Wars

Comanche Wars
A map of Comanche lands prior to 1850.

The Comanche Wars were forays by bands of Comanche native Americans along the Mexican and Texan frontier. Some of their forays extended well down into Mexico. The Apache conducted similar forays in the vicinity of southern Arizona. The last band of Comanches surrendered in 1875 though some warriors continued to fight in conflicts such as the Buffalo Hunters' War from 1876 to 1877.
