Oh wow. I was on TT before asking if they had great grandchildren living

Cynthia parker and peta nocona are my 4th great grandparents. Quanah is my 3rd great grandfather.

Always enjoy your history vlogs. I find the Parker family story, especially Quanah and Cynthia, so interesting. Thanks Breck.

Mr. Rowell, I think you would enjoy reading, "Empire of the Summer Moon: Quanah Parker and the Rise and Fall of the Comanches, the Most Powerful Indian Tribe in American History". Written by S.C. Gwyenne.

I've read "Empire of the Summer Moon"; great book.

Great info. Thanks for taking the time to dig deeper. Just wanted to say though that Comanches weren’t Indian. That was a mistake that some explorer made, who thought they had landed in India. We know better now. ♥️🇨🇦

amung us Comanche it is debatable if Kwana was the "last chief" i. But there was a council of elders and not just one person which many is usually told as Kwana as the last chief and we also have no reservation to our own because we never surrendered. So much history that is gone from the Indigenous... but great video. Thanks for doing this. I had family there as well as Ishate(cousin). the Kwahadi is translated to the Antelope People.

Thankyou Breck so much for this vlog. Although Australian, I've always be fascinated by the Indian culture of native Americans. I appreciate the immense research on your part here & have learnt a lot. It would be nice if one day you could take us all on a tour to the fort Breck, as we don't have anything like that in South Australia. Thank you again & kind regards from Adelaide, South Australia.

As a native Texan you should read the book Empire of the Summer Moon. By S. W. Gwyneth. Many of my family members were born in the Republic of Texas that being the case many were killed by Comanches.

Heard of this story before it a real interesting story but I didn't know they had a memorial statue in Texas great vlogs breck

Very interesting story Breck. You learn something new every day. Thank you.

Great Vlog Breck you did a great job telling Quanah Parker's story. I hope you can Vlog the inside of the fort soon.

Thank you. Interesting video Breck.

Great video Breck!

Interesting! This is one of my many favorite historical events (the Cynthia/Quanah story). Its a shame the fort wasn't open that day, but i enjoyed your exploring outside, the stones and monuments, etc.

I'm a descendant of all of them iv heard stories all my life she was known as a half breeder and was never discussed much glad to hear this side of it all

Crazy to call her that, right?! Like as a nine year old, she had a choice.

Thanks for the history

Did you get to talk to the groundskeeper? Maybe he could have given you some more info on the place.

That is a replica of Ft. Parker there's a small museum inside

Thanks for the story, but a minor peeve - Calvary is a hill in Jerusalem - Cavalry is mounted military - as in 1st Cav (SFC US Army, retired)

I’m directly related to Quanah Parker

Howdy 🤠

That is the actual fort. It was not relocated. Silas parkers grave is inside. There's a friendly caretaker there during business hours. He'd gladly let you in. No charge but donations help keep things running.

Hi Breck

Quahadi is pronounced quahawdee. Adobe walls not wells Kiowa is pronounced ky- oh-wuh

That’s my great great Greatgrandfather

How awesome is that? It's funny how you're the second person who's seen this video and identified as a relative of Quanah Parker. How cool is it to have such a famous relative?

Sounds like GHENGIS KHAN🤔
