scribnerbooks: babylonfalling: Indian Tribal Lands 1493. Click here to zoom. Amazing and depressing. One of our favorite books last year? “Empire of the Summer Moon” which details the rise-and-fall of the Commanches. Here, they are just a section of a map. In reality, they were the best horseman who ever rode.  They “rolled the frontier backwards” defeating the Spanish, French, and Texans… but only for a time.
