In the summer of 1933 in Lawton, Oklahoma, a team of six anthropologists met with eighteen Comanche elders to record the latters reminiscences of traditional Comanche culture. The depth and breadth of what the elderly Comanches recalled provides an inestimable source of knowledge for generations to come, both within and beyond the Comanche community. This monumental volume makes available for the first time the largest archive of traditional cultural information on Comanches ever gathered by American anthropologists.Much of the Comanches earlier world is presented herereligious stories, historical accounts, autobiographical remembrances, cosmology, the practice of war, everyday games, birth rituals, funerals, kinship relations, the organization of camps, material culture, and relations with other tribes.Thomas W. Kavanagh tracked down all known surviving notes from the Santa Fe Laboratory field party and collated and annotated the records, learning as much as possible about the Comanche elders who spoke with the anthropologists and, when possible, attributing pieces of information to the appropriate elders. In addition, this volume includes Robert H. Lowies notes from his short 1912 visit to the Comanches. The result stands as a legacy for both Comanches and those interested in learning more about them.

I picked up this ethnography by Comanche for my anthropology class, and it's been such a treasure. The detailed notes from E. Adamson Hoebel and others really provide a deep understanding of Comanche culture. The layout is easy to follow, making it perfect for both study and casual reading.

Not What I Expected
I was a bit disappointed with this book. I thought it would be more comprehensive, but it felt too narrow in scope. Some sections didn't quite deliver on the depth I was hoping for. If you’re looking for modern insights, keep looking.
