Edward S. Curtis - Plate 682 Esipermi - Comanche - Vintage Photogravure - Portfolio, 18 x 22 inches - "There were no more vigorous people among the Indians of the Plains than the Comanche, a Shoshonean tribe, related to the Shoshone and Bannock of Idaho, from which region they entered the Northern plains and drifted ever southward, following the bison in their wanderings. They were noted warriors and raiders, being the enemies of many tribes and extending their depredations far into Mexico. One need look no farther than the accompanying portraits to discern the warrior character of these old braves." from Edward S. Curtis' "The North American Indian", Volume XIX
