Born on the very day that the first horse comes to the Comanche people, a young warrior named Horseback matures into a leader of unquestionable courage and vision. He guides his people through the bloodshed of war, cultural conflict, and political intrigue to become the possessors of the richest hunting grounds on the face of the Earth. His warriors become known as the greatest horsemen that ever lived. And his new nation--the Comanche--forever changes the course of history on the Southern Plains.
