it was amazing

The relative firepower , mobility, and tactics of the rival forces is absolutely accurate. My boyhood home in the Texas Panhandle was Comancheria. The Comanches used horses both as transportation and armour. Before the Walker Colt.44 pistol the Comanche could ride at full speed and shoot arrows into a fleeing man who had fired his single shot rifle. The Comanche had a hide or hair rope they braided into his horses' neck hair used as a sling to hang from the side of the horse away from the foe. The 6 shot .44 Walker Colt would penetrate the horse body and also the rider clinging to the side of the horse. Thank God for the .44 Walker. The Comanche and Kiowa burned captive whites and other Indians just for fun. The .44 Colt killed so fast the victims had no time to be tortured. The .44 Colt had the range and hitting power of the modern .357 which will completely penetrate an automobile engine block. What a horror story if the rest of the story is as accurate !! The Judge ''will never die.''
